SB134

Renames the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy to the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training.

The bill amends the West Virginia Code to rename the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy to the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training. This change reflects the board's expanded scope to include oversight of athletic training in addition to physical therapy. The board's duties, powers, and membership requirements are updated to reflect this change. The board is responsible for regulating physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and athletic trainers, setting standards for licensing, conducting disciplinary hearings, and maintaining records.
