Physical therapy practice provisions modifications

SF 3049 modifies Minnesota's physical therapy practice rules to clarify supervision requirements and delegation limits. It requires physical therapists to be physically present during at least every other treatment session with student physical therapists or student physical therapist assistants (replacing telecommunication as acceptable supervision). The bill also updates delegation rules, stating physical therapists cannot assign initial patient evaluations, treatment planning, or initial documentation to assistants or aides. These changes directly affect licensed physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students in training across Minnesota healthcare settings. The bill amends specific sections of Minnesota Statutes 2024 related to physical therapy practice.
