State Board of Physical Therapy
Deletion of Athletic Trainer Regulations;
Regulation No. 16A-6512 (#2679)On February 27, 2008, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this regulation from the State Board of Physical Therapy (Board). This rulemaking amends 49 Pa. Code Chapter 40. Notice of proposed rulemaking was omitted for this regulation; it will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
This final-omitted deletes provisions with regard to athletic trainers that are now obsolete because Acts 92 and 93 of 2001 transferred responsibility for the oversight of athletic trainers from the Board to the State Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (63 P. S. §§ 271.71a(d) and 422.51a(d), which repeals 63 P. S. §§ 1310.1 and 1310.2) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.
