The bill amends Section 37-11-105 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the supervision requirements for licensed physical therapists overseeing physical therapy assistants. Specifically, it changes the frequency of required visits by the supervising physical therapist from once every six visits or two weeks to once every eight visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. This adjustment aims to provide more flexibility in the supervision process while ensuring that patient care remains a priority.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This means that the changes to the supervision requirements will take effect without delay, allowing for a prompt implementation of the new regulations governing the relationship between physical therapists and their assistants.
