Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Pedorthics; national entity certification required to provide care; Department of Workforce required to administer and record

Summary

The bill repeals the Alabama State Board of Prosthetists and Orthotists and instead requires anyone providing prosthetic, orthotic, or pedorthic care to be certified by a nationally recognized entity approved by the Department of Workforce. Certified providers must submit proof of certification each year, pay a recording fee up to $100, and are subject to misdemeanor penalties for non‑compliance. The change is intended to shift oversight to national standards while giving the state a simple tracking role.
