BILL NUMBER:S6666
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 534 of the laws of 1993 amending the education law relating to physical therapy assistants, in relation to extending the effective date thereof
Purpose
To extend Chapter 534 of the Laws of 1993, due to expire June 30th, for an additional four years.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 2 of Chapter 534 of the Laws of 1993 to extend the provisions of this chapter for an additional four years to June 30, 2018.
Justification
Chapter 534 of the Laws of 1993 authorized physical therapy assistants to provide services in home care settings. These services are allowed when the supervising physical therapist establishes a program of care for a patient, has an initial joint visit with the patient and the physical therapy assistant periodically evaluates and treats such patient and provides a final evaluation to determine if the treatment plan should be terminated. This program has been successfully in place since 1993 and should be continued.
