Board of Physical Therapy rule relating to general provisions for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy to implement a specific regulatory rule (16 CSR 01) that establishes general requirements for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The rule, which was modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee, covers standard professional practices and qualifications. The bill does not create new policy but formally approves the Board's existing rule after procedural revisions. This procedural authorization directly affects licensed physical therapy professionals and their regulatory compliance in West Virginia.
