ALOTA GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
ALOTA is committed to protecting the profession of Occupational Therapy for current and future practitioners and the clients we serve. Sustaining membership as well as PAC contribution allows the funds needed to insure the protection of the profession! LEGISLATIVE UPDATE (2021)
In the 2021 legislative session, the updated OT Practice Act was passed! This was a major legislative success in the calendar year where the session was full due to COVID and a shorter session the previous year. However, with thanks to our bill sponsors in both the State House and State Senate, ALOTA was able to pass an updated practice act within the same session it was introduced and without any opposition to the bill. The updated practice act provides a clear procedure for the Alabama State Licensure Board to address Impaired Practitioners for the safety and protection of the OT service consumer.
