Introduced by: John S. Edwards | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health professions; occupational therapists. Adds language to the licensure requirements for occupational therapists to ensure that unlicensed persons do not practice occupational therapy under another job title. The bill also requires that a graduate of an accredited program may practice until he has taken and passed the examination required by the Board but must use the title "Occupational Therapist, License Applicant" or "OTL-Applicant" for disclosure to patients of his status. Previously, applicants were allowed to use the fully accredited licensing title prior to taking and passing the exam.
