What’s happening with Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act of 2025?
The Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act of 2025 remains in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means as of June 2026. Members of these committees must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but the primary constraint is that most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a hearing. This outcome is common for federal bills, as the vast majority of proposals never advance past the initial committee stage.
