It's official. Good ol' Gov. Jerry Brown couldn't sign this bill fast enough to clear off some space on his desk. In a message from the California Physical Therapy Association:
On Monday October 3, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law SB 543 a bill that prevents the Physical Therapy Board of California from enforcing the law pertaining to physical therapists that are employed by medical, chiropractic and podiatric corporations.
The impact: POPTS will continue in CA without flinching until 2013. Then a sunset provision takes effect and this bill will have to be re-heard. Unless Medicare breaks out some sweeping changes in the federal law, this issue (as far as the PT Board is concerned) is now very much a non issue.
