Thank you to everyone that helped with this. This bill helps us move forward while maintaining our ability to teach the next generations, the magnificent patient care techniques.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Another Bill Signed! Assembly Bill 581 was signed into law yesterday (March 3, 2020) by Governor Evers. This bill allows the Physical Therapy Examining Board (PTEB) to promulgate rules related to the supervision of student physical therapists (SPTs) and student physical therapist assistants (SPTAs). Prior statutory language was unclear and caused some clinical sites to decline taking SPTAs.

The PTEB can now begin the process of promulgating rules that clarify supervision requirements. We anticipate that the new rules will result in more clinical sites accepting SPTAs for clinical rotations. Thank you to Rep. VanderMeer for sponsoring the bill, and to Shari Berry, Western Technical College Program Chair and PTEB Chair, SPTAs Amber Orlikowski, Emily Kastner, Justin Nedvidek, and WPTA lobbyists Annie Early and Jeremey Shepherd for representing the WPTA, and helping to get this bill passed!
