What changed in the latest version
53 added · 32 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of Bill HB 1251 introduces several updates, primarily expanding the definitions relevant to the practice of physical therapy in Pennsylvania. Notably, it includes a clear definition of "midwife" and clarifies who qualifies as a "physician assistant." These changes are important because they broaden the scope of professionals who can refer patients for physical therapy, which may improve access to care for patients needing therapy services.
