Under current law, physical therapists and physical therapist assistants are licensed by the Physical Therapists Affiliated Credentialing Board. An affiliated credentialing board is a body that is attached to an examining board to regulate a profession that does not practice independently of, or that practices in collaboration with, the profession regulated by the examining board.

The Physical Therapists Affiliated Credentialing Board is attached to the Medical Examining Board and, with the advice of the Medical Examining Board, sets standards of professional competence and conduct for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, assesses qualifications and grants credentials, and takes disciplinary actions.

Read the full summary

This bill changes the Physical Therapists Affiliated Credentialing Board to the Physical Therapy Examining Board. Except that the board will no longer be attached to, or be advised by, the Medical Examining Board, the Physical Therapy Examining Board's duties and responsibilities remain the same under the bill.
