Speakers:

A Public Health and Welfare committee hearing covered testimony on Senate Bill 430, which would allow licensed physical therapists to perform CLIA-waived point-of-care tests (limited to items such as lactate and glucose) to support evaluation and treatment planning, and a final committee vote that passed out Senate Bill 448. Proponents stressed patient safety and rehabilitation benefits; medical and chiropractic groups raised concerns about testing validity, costs, duplication, and regulatory burden.
