DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY
PRACTICE AND ASSOCIATED RULES, WITHDRAWAL, AND AMENDMENT (§ 54.1-3495)

A. The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the Compact statute
is enacted into law in the tenth member state. The provisions, which become
effective at that time, shall be limited to the powers granted to the Commission
relating to assembly and the promulgation of rules. Thereafter, the Commission
shall meet and exercise rulemaking powers necessary to the implementation and
administration of the Compact.

B. Any state that joins the Compact subsequent to the Commission&#8217;s initial
adoption of the rules shall be subject to the rules as they exist on the date on
which the Compact becomes law in that state. Any rule that has been previously
adopted by the Commission shall have the full force and effect of law on the day
the Compact becomes law in that state.

C. Any member state may withdraw from this Compact by enacting a statute
repealing the same.

   1. A member state&#8217;s withdrawal shall not take effect until six months
   after enactment of the repealing statute.

   2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the withdrawing
   state&#8217;s physical therapy licensing board to comply with the
   investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of this act prior to
   the effective date of withdrawal.

D. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed to invalidate or prevent
any physical therapy licensure agreement or other cooperative arrangement
between a member state and a nonmember state that does not conflict with the
provisions of this Compact.

E. This Compact may be amended by the member states. No amendment to this
Compact shall become effective and binding upon any member state until it is
enacted into the laws of all member states.
