An act relating to Vermont’s adoption of the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact
This bill amends Vermont's adoption of the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact to include physical therapist assistants alongside physical therapists. The change allows physical therapist assistants to participate in the compact, which enables licensed healthcare professionals to practice in multiple states with a single license. By adding physical therapist assistants to the compact, the bill expands mobility opportunities for these healthcare workers across state lines. The amendment was concurred by both legislative chambers and signed into law by the Governor in June 2023.
