NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Physical Therapy Practice has declined to rule on the petition for declaratory statement filed by Bay District Schools on March 03, 2016. The following is a summary of the agency’s declination of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 42, No. 54, of the March 18, 2016, Florida Administrative Register. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on May 6, 2016. The Petitioner is requesting the Board’s interpretation of Section 486.021(11)(a), Florida Statutes, regarding as to when the 21-day period (now 30-day period as of March 23, 2016, pursuant to SB450) begins for physical therapy treatment without physician referral. The Board’s Order, filed on June 9, 2016, declines to issue a Declaratory Statement. The Board determined that Section 476.021(11)(a), Florida Statutes, is clear as written regarding the 30 days of treatment.
