The bill amends the Podiatry Practice Act of March 2, 1956, specifically focusing on the application process for individuals seeking to practice podiatric medicine in Pennsylvania. It stipulates that applicants must submit a written application for examination to the State Board of Podiatry Examiners, along with a fee set by the board and two unmounted photographs. One of these photographs must be verified by the dean of the applicant's podiatric medicine and surgery school. Additionally, applicants must provide proof of being at least twenty-one years old, of good moral character, and not addicted to alcohol or narcotic drugs.

A significant change in the bill is the deletion of the requirement for applicants to be citizens of the United States or to have declared an intention to become a citizen. This alteration broadens the eligibility criteria for applicants, allowing non-citizens who meet other qualifications to apply for licensure in podiatric medicine. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
