Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 911 has made a few important adjustments regarding the salary reporting for occupational and physical therapists. The due date for local boards of education to report their salary schedules has changed from October 15 to February 15 of each year. This change is significant because it allows schools more time to compile accurate salary information, which can help ensure fair compensation for therapists based on updated data. Additionally, the wording has been simplified for clarity, making the bill easier for everyone to understand.
