Health occupations: physical therapists; physical therapy licensure compact; enact. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 16188.

This bill enacts the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact in Michigan, allowing licensed physical therapists and assistants to practice across state lines with a single license. Under the new rules, a provider can work in any other member state where their patient is located without needing separate licenses for each location. The compact establishes a shared data system to track licensure and disciplinary actions among participating states while preserving each state's authority to protect public health. Additionally, the legislation specifically aims to support military spouses by facilitating easier practice mobility when they relocate.
