DCCA Board of Physical Therapy met Jan. 8th

DCCA PT Board 2012 (L to R: D.Kubota PT, R.Iopa PT, N.Shimabukuro PT, M.Turner PT, "Bo" Aki Chair, K. Nichols esq.,& J. Fong)

 
The Hawaii State DCCA Physical Therapy Board met Tuesday, January 8th 2013.  The DCCA executive officer Kenyatta Nichols announced that the Governor's office and the Attorney General's office had made some minor revisions to the PTA Licensure bill which was submitted by the DCCA PT Board.  The proposal for the bill includes the "grandfathering clause" suggested by Ho'okahi Leo and the ILWU.  The PT Board Chairperson +Charles"Bo"Aki announced that the PT board designated +Kenyatta Nichols and +Michael Turner PT to address the State Legislature for the bills being submitted by the PT Board.  The Board stated that anyone willing to send letters to the Governor to support  should do so.  (Note: Ho`okahi Leo subsequently emailed 33 letters of support for the bill to Governor Abercrombie's office)

Representatives from +Ho`okahi Leo and the ILWU were present to monitor and support the PTA licensure bill.  A representative from HAPTA was also present and stated support for the PTA Licensure bill and willingness to help lobby for the bills [titled HB843 and SB1074].

The other bill being submitted by the Hawaii DCCA PT Board is for Physical Therapist Continuing Competency requirements.

Anyone in support of Hawaii State licensing for PTAs should write an email, letter, or comment on this blog and we will see that it reaches the appropriate committee.  A sample letter is listed in a blog post on this site.

If you have questions or concerns please leave post a comment or contact a Ho`okahi Leo officer listed on this blog's main page at ptasofhawaii@gmail.com.  Mahalo!  (Note: After this posting date the Governor submitted the PTA Licensure bill to the State Legislature as part of his 2013 Legislative Package)  +

PTA Licensure Bill Submitted to Governor's Office

Ho`okahi Leo Committee member Lisa Isono (LPTA) and the ILWU liaison to Ho`okahi Leo attended the October 23rd meeting of the Hawaii State DCCA Physical Therapy Board.  The DCCA PT Board chairperson Charles "Bo" Aki and Executive Director Kennyatta Nichols announced that the PT Assistant Licensure bill was completed and submitted to the Governor's office.  The bill includes key points suggested by Ho`okahi Leo PTAs including a "grandfathering" clause for PTAs with significant experience.  The Board appreciated the input of Ho`okahi Leo over the recent months and advised that the Bill's prospects were favorable.

Previous bill for PTA Licensure killed in 1995
The presentation of the PTA Licensure Bill to the Governor's office is a good development, but the bill must still be introduced to the appropriate committees of the State Legislature and eventually voted on by the entire body of both Houses of the Legislature and subsequently approved by the Governor.  The last time a PTA Licensure bill was introduced in 1995 it was killed by a negative recommendation of the State Auditor's office and a lack of public support.  Hawaii is the only State in the USA not to require PTAs to be licensed.

Please submit a letter or email supporting PTA Licensure if you have not done so already!  Your letter should include: your name, address, date, and reason(s) why licensing of PTAs by the State of Hawaii will benefit the safety and welfare of the public.

Note: The aforementioned bill has been subsequently introduced to the State House and Senate by the Governor's office, supported by the DCCA PT Board.
