California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 5.7 — Physical TherapyArticle 4 — Renewal of LicensesSection 2648.3
A licensee who demonstrates to the satisfaction of the board that he or she is unable to practice, or assist in the provision of, physical therapy due to a disability may request a waiver of the license renewal fee. The granting of a waiver shall be at the discretion of the board and may be terminated at any time. Waivers shall be based on the inability of a licensee to practice, or assist in the provision of, physical therapy. A licensee whose renewal fee has been waived pursuant to this section shall not engage in the practice of, or assist in the provision of, physical therapy unless and until the licensee pays the current renewal fee and does either of the following:
(a) Establishes to the satisfaction of the board, on a form prescribed by the board and signed under penalty of perjury, that the licensee’s disability either no longer exists or does not affect his or her ability to practice, or assist in the provision of, physical therapy safely.
(b) Signs an agreement, on a form prescribed by the board and signed under penalty of perjury, to limit his or her practice of, or assistance in the provision of, physical therapy in the manner prescribed by his or her reviewing physician.
(c) A person exempt from renewal fees under this section shall not be exempt from meeting the requirements of Section 2649.
Notes
Allows board to waive a renewal fee for a licensee unable to practice or assist because of disability, at its discretion and terminable at any time. Bars practice under the waiver until the current fee is paid and the licensee either proves the disability no longer prevents safe practice or agrees to physician-prescribed practice limits; preserved renewal requirements still apply.
