AZ SB1266

Amends the definition of "practice of physical therapy" in Arizona Revised Statutes section 32-2001 to expand physical therapist authority to order imaging and laboratory tests.

Removes the previous limitation that restricted physical therapists to ordering only "musculoskeletal imaging consisting of plain film radiographs."

Allows physical therapists to order imaging and laboratory tests as part of examining, evaluating, and testing patients to determine diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic intervention plans.

Applies to the Arizona Board of Physical Therapy's regulatory scope.
