The bill amends Section 37-11-105 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the supervision requirements for physical therapist assistants by licensed physical therapists. 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 occurs first. This adjustment aims to provide more flexibility in the supervision process while maintaining patient care standards.

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 as soon as the bill is enacted, allowing for a prompt implementation of the revised regulations.
