Physical Therapy Licensure Compact

The Physical Therapy Licensure Compact is a federal bill aimed at establishing a compact among states to facilitate interstate practice of physical therapy. It allows licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to practice across state lines within compact member states without the need for additional licenses. The main provisions include creating a coordinated system for sharing licensure information, ensuring compliance with each state's laws and regulations, and promoting access to physical therapy services. This compact intends to streamline the licensing process, enhance professional mobility, and improve patient access to quality care by reducing barriers for physical therapy practitioners practicing in multiple states.
