THE ARKANSAS ORTHOTICS, PROSTHETICS AND PEDORTHICS PRACTICE ACT OF 2007 WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY GOVERNOR MIKE BEEBE TODAY
The Arkansas State Orthotic and Prosthetic Association announces that the state of Arkansas joined eleven other states today who now require state licensure to practice as Prosthetists, Orthotists and Pedorthists. The Arkansas law will also require licensure of Assistant Practitioners. The announcement was made by Gary Horton, CO, FAAOP, Association President.
This legislation, designed to give assurance to the public that the clinician who provides their prosthetic, orthotic and pedorthic care will be qualified to do so.
The Arkansas State Orthotic & Prosthetic Association, with the assistance of others began this initiative five years ago. The signing into law of this licensure act was the culmination of several years of hard work by the association's Legislative committee and several interested state legislators.
Members of the Legislative committee are, Gary Horton, CO, FAAOP; Frank Snell, CPO, FAAOP, David Yates, CPO, FAAOP; Patrick McNally, CPO ; Dan Crowder, CP, FAAOP; Kent Rinehart, CP, FAAOP; Steven Street, CPO.
