• Renumbers disciplinary action grounds from 21 clauses to 20 clauses by eliminating the standalone 90-day treatment provision from the disciplinary section.

• Allows physical therapists to treat without referral for prevention, wellness, education, or exercise activities without time restrictions.

• Maintains requirement that physical therapists licensed less than one year must practice under supervision or obtain physician referral before treating patients independently.
