S 10066 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends provisions relating to physical therapist assistants

This bill extends the legal authority for physical therapist assistants to provide services in home care settings until June 30, 2030. It achieves this by amending existing education laws to update the expiration date of the current provisions. The change directly impacts home care agencies and the physical therapist assistants who work within them by allowing their services to continue under the current regulatory framework for an additional four years. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law and does not alter the scope of services or qualifications, only the duration of the authorization.
