Petition Comment
 

This proposed change is not requiring physical therapy assistant programs to admit students who might be dangerous. It is asking the Board to exercise its authority to determine what educational programs meet the Board's qualifications to encourage physical therapy assistant programs to use their discretion in admitting students with prior felonies who have paid their debts to society and have been rehabilitated. It is asking that those people be given the opportunity to pursue a profession and contribute to society.
