The bill amends Section 5-40-7 of the General Laws concerning the licensing of physical therapists. It allows a graduate of a board-approved physical therapy school to have their privileges reinstated upon filing and registering for a second or third examination attempt after failing the initial examination. Specifically, if a graduate fails to pass the examination, their privileges will automatically cease. However, these privileges can be reinstated if the applicant files and registers for a second examination; if they fail to take or pass this second attempt, their privileges will again cease. The privileges can be reinstated for a third examination attempt under the same conditions. This act will take effect upon passage.
