This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Board of Physical Therapy to promulgate a legislative rule concerning general provisions for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The legislative rule in question was initially filed in the State Register on July 24, 2025, and subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 21, 2025.

The bill aims to formalize the authority of the Board of Physical Therapy to establish regulations that govern the practice of physical therapy in the state. It does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being addressed is new and does not contain any existing legal language that is being removed.
