FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
This proposal could have a fiscal impact on small business due to the possible increase in available practicing physical therapists.
DESCRIPTION
This proposed legislation revises the licensure procedures for physical therapist applicants who are licensed in another state. The proposal removes the requirement that the laws of the state in which the applicant is already licensed must be substantially equal to or greater than the licensure laws of Missouri. The act also removes the mandatory denial of licensure to any applicant who has failed any physical therapist licensing examination three or more times.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
