Ratifies the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact. (BDR 54-566)

AB 248 ratifies Nevada's participation in the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, allowing licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants from member states to practice in Nevada without obtaining a separate Nevada license. The bill establishes requirements for practitioners, including holding an active license in their home state, having no recent disciplinary actions, and reporting any adverse actions within 30 days. It also creates a joint Compact Commission to manage the system and requires Nevada’s Physical Therapy Board to share relevant licensing information through a shared data system. This directly affects physical therapy professionals seeking to practice across state lines within the Compact.
