OCCUPATIONS -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding dry needling by physical therapists.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this legislation is to make a correction to the Physical Therapy Practice Act by allowing the Idaho Physical Therapy Licensure Board to approve the required courses for a physical therapist to practice dry needling. The current statute requires the courses be accredited by a national organization; however, no national organizations accredit courses in dry needling. This legislation will give the Idaho Board the authority to determine which courses meet their standards.
