Relates extending provisions of law relating to physical therapy assistant services in public and private primary and secondary schools
This bill extends the existing law authorizing physical therapy assistants to provide services in public and private primary and secondary schools, keeping the provision active until June 30, 2030 (previously set to expire in 2025). It directly affects physical therapy assistants working in school settings, ensuring they can continue delivering these services without interruption. The key change is updating the expiration date to 2030, maintaining current access to school-based physical therapy support.
