Legislative Tracking Tool

Track relevant legislative issues

FSBPT offers a legislative tracking tool that allows members to monitor and research the regulatory implications of current physical therapy issues. The service helps identify trends in legislation, monitor changes to practice acts and alert jurisdictions to any potential problems with legislation as written.

Background

The Federation began legislative monitoring in earnest in January 2009 when a contract was signed with CQ Trend Track, a legislative tracking company.

Since that time, the company has also developed a regulatory tracking system which was launched in January 2010. The tracking has been used to identify legislation and regulation which may impact physical therapy specifically or a related area which may have an effect on the Federation’s members.
