House Bill 588 amends provisions of the Occupations Code regulating the practice of physical therapy. The bill provides for the confidentiality of certain contact information maintained by the Executive Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners or the Texas Board of Physical Therapy Examiners for a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant or an owner or manager of a registered physical therapy facility and requires such a person to provide the board with a business address or address of record that will be subject to disclosure. The bill removes a requirement regarding the display of a license renewal certificate by a license holder and revises license renewal requirements for a person whose license has been expired for 90 days or less, more than 90 days but less than one year, or one year or longer and for certain persons with an expired license who are currently licensed and in good standing in another state.
