An act to amend chapter 20 of the laws of 1998 amending the education law relating to the provision of physical therapy assistant services in public and private primary and secondary schools, in relation to extending the effectiveness of such chapter
Purpose
Provides for an extender for existing law pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Laws of 1998 regarding physical therapist assistants.
