 S. 3598 2

 1 PHYSICAL THERAPY LICENSURE COMPACT
 2 SECTION 1.
 3 PURPOSE

 4 The purpose of this Compact is to facilitate interstate practice of
 5 physical therapy with the goal of improving public access to physical
 6 therapy services. The practice of physical therapy occurs in the state
 7 where the patient/client is located at the time of the patient/client
 8 encounter. The Compact preserves the regulatory authority of states to
 9 protect public health and safety through the current system of state
 10 licensure.
 11 This Compact is designed to achieve the following objectives:
 12 1. Increase public access to physical therapy services by providing
 13 for the mutual recognition of other member state licenses;
 14 2. Enhance the states' ability to protect the public's health and
 15 safety;
 16 3. Encourage the cooperation of member states in regulating multi-
 17 state physical therapy practice;
 18 4. Support spouses of relocating military members;
 19 5. Enhance the exchange of licensure, investigative, and disciplinary
 20 information between member states; and
 21 6. Allow a remote state to hold a provider of services with a compact
 22 privilege in that state accountable to that state's practice standards.

 23 SECTION 2.
 24 DEFINITIONS

 25 As used in this Compact, and except as otherwise provided, the follow-
 26 ing definitions shall apply:
 27 1. "Active Duty Military" means full-time duty status in the active
 28 uniformed service of the United States, including members of the
 29 National Guard and Reserve on active duty orders pursuant to 10 U.S.C.
 30 Section 1209 and 1
