Senate Bill 141 amends the Occupations Code to revise the education and clinical residency requirements for a license to practice orthotics and prosthetics. The bill revises the education requirements for a student registration certificate issued to certain individuals working toward fulfilling the requirements for a license as an orthotist, prosthetist, or prosthetist orthotist and authorizes the Texas Board of Orthotics and Prosthetics to issue a certificate to such an individual who is a student currently enrolled in an applicable appropriately recognized and accredited graduate program in Texas in orthotics and prosthetics and who submits to the board a written certification from the graduate program in which the student is enrolled that the student has successfully completed the academic prerequisites to enter a professional clinical residency.
