The act changes the membership to include four physical therapists and one physical therapist assistant. The act allows the following individuals to represent himself or herself as a physical therapist: • Persons in entry level professional education programs approved by the commission under certain circumstances. • Physical therapists practicing in the U.S. armed services. • Physical therapists practicing in the U.S. Public Health Services. • Physical therapists practicing in the Veterans Administration under federal regulations for state licensure for healthcare providers. The act modifies the process for filling vacancies on the commission. CHRIS HOGERTY
