Relating to authorizing the Board of Physical Therapy to promulgate a legislative rule relating to general provisions for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
HB 4315 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy to implement a specific regulatory rule (16 CSR 01) covering general provisions for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The bill formally approves a rule that was previously modified by the Board to address legislative committee concerns and refiled in the State Register. This rule directly affects licensed physical therapists and assistants by establishing their regulatory requirements under state law. The bill does not create new policy but enables the Board to enforce an existing, approved regulatory framework.
