Physical therapists can work at Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) centers without prior work experience.

Mississippi House Bill 607 amends the state code to allow physical therapists to work at Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) centers without requiring prior work experience. PPEC centers provide medical, developmental, and family training services to children. The bill ensures these centers maintain safe and sanitary conditions, including plumbing, heating, and ventilation. It also mandates that PPEC centers follow the most recent edition of the "Life Safety Code." The change takes effect from July 1, 2026.
