The bill amends Section 5-40-7 of the General Laws concerning the licensing of physical therapists. It introduces new provisions that allow graduates of board-approved physical therapy schools 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, but they can be reinstated by registering for the next available scheduled examination. The privileges will cease again if the applicant fails to take or pass the second or third examination attempts. This act will take effect upon passage.
