SCS SB 980 -- Physical Therapists

Co-Sponsors:  Singleton, Schneider

This substitute revises the licensure procedures for physical
therapist applicants who are licensed in another state.  The
substitute removes the requirement that the laws of the state in
which the applicant is already licensed must be substantially
equal to or greater than the licensure laws of Missouri.

Currently, the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts
must deny licensure to any applicant who has failed any physical
therapist licensing examination three or more times.  The
substitute allows the board to waive such provisions if the
applicant has passed a licensing exam, is licensed, and has
practiced for two years in another state or territory.
