Lansing, MI – The Michigan Senate approved legislation to improve access to physical therapy.

Senate Bill 18, spearheaded by State Senator Dale Zorn would enter Michigan into the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, which gives the option for eligible physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to obtain a ‘compact privilege’ in other participating states.

Zorn said: “If we join the compact and Ohio follows our lead, PTs in our state would be able to help patients across the border in Ohio and PTs from Ohio would be able to treat patients in Monroe and Lenawee counties.”

The Senate Bill has been sent to the House of Representatives for consideration.
