Increases the timeline for physical therapy treatment without prior practitioner assessment from 21 days to 30 days before a practitioner of record must review and sign the treatment plan.

Permits licensed physical therapists who hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) degree to use the letters "D.P.T." in connection with their name or place of business.

Prohibits physical therapists with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from using the title "doctor" without clearly informing the public of their profession as a physical therapist.
