Physical Therapy Practice Act Modifications.

Explicitly added 'physical therapist assistants' to the list of individuals whose confidential investigation records are protected from public disclosure, subpoenas, and discovery.

Adjusted document headers and formatting to reflect the bill's status as a 'Ratified Bill' instead of a 'Senate Substitute' version.

Corrected a minor grammatical error in the term limits section by removing the duplicate word 'may'.

Fixed a formatting issue in the Board's powers section where the phrase 'assistants who' was incorrectly merged with the preceding sentence.

Deleted the requirement for a public member to be appointed by the Governor, who must not be licensed under Chapter 90 and must represent the public at large.

Removed the text detailing the nomination process, record-keeping, and term limits for board members.

Added the power for the Board to 'encumber' licenses alongside other disciplinary actions like suspension and revocation.

Changed the standard for professional ethics from a fixed definition to one that may be established by Board rule.

The bill number was updated from HB 536 to H536-v-1, and the date was changed from March 26 to March 27, 2025.

The text contains numerous formatting errors, such as orphaned line numbers, broken sentences, and incomplete clauses, indicating this is a work-in-progress draft rather than a final version.

The list of sponsors was expanded to include Representatives Campbell, Lambeth, and Chesser as primary sponsors.
