Prior to legislation adopted in 2001, the Pennsylvania State Board of Physical Therapy regulated athletic trainers. Under Acts 92 and 93, the regulations promulgated pursuant to the Pennsylvania Physical Therapy Practice Act were to continue to govern the activities of athletic trainers until the State Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine adopted Final-Form Regulations. These Final-Form Regulations were adopted July 14, 2007 and are available at http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol37/37-28/1232.html Thereafter, the regulations of the State Board of Physical Therapy governing athletic trainers were rescinded effective April 19, 2008. The order rescinding the regulations is available at http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol38/38-16/727.html
