An Act relative to the definition of podiatry

This bill amends Massachusetts law to clarify the legal definition of podiatry as the diagnosis and treatment of foot and lower leg ailments using medical, mechanical, electrical, or surgical methods. It also updates related sections to explicitly include registered podiatrists under the term "physician" for specific licensing and practice contexts. The legislation does not create new regulations or change existing practice standards, but rather aligns the statutory language with current professional titles.
