Introduced Text

Establishes a physical therapy licensure compact among member states.

The bill establishes a physical therapy licensure compact to facilitate interstate practice of physical therapy, aiming to improve public access to services. Member states must submit data to a centralized system, including identifying information, licensure data, and adverse actions. The compact preserves state regulatory authority and allows remote states to enforce their own practice standards. It also provides for joint investigations and dispute resolution among member states. The compact comes into effect when enacted by the tenth member state.
