2005 House Bill 4325 ↩

Senate Roll Call 604: Passed

To restrict the performance of needle electromyography or the interpretation of nerve conduction tests to chiropractors, podiatrists, and specially trained licensed physicians those under their direct supervision. This procedure is used to record and study the electrical activity of a muscle using a needle electrode, and is used to diagnose certain diseases of the peripheral nervous system and muscles. It is commonly performed by physical therapists upon referral by physicians. The bill would "grandfather" some physical therapists if they get additional training and certifications.
