The bill amends Section 5-40-23 of the General Laws in Chapter 5-40, which pertains to physical therapists. It allows licensed physical therapists to order diagnostic imaging as an authorized practice of physical therapy. The bill removes the provision that would have limited the authority of physical therapists to order diagnostic imaging after December 31, 2025, thereby permitting them to continue this practice indefinitely. The act is set to take effect upon its passage.
