Important Updates
PTA Certification-to-Licensure Conversion
Kentucky House Bill 48 (2026) converts physical therapist assistants from a certification system to a licensure system and authorizes the Board to establish fees, conduct examinations, investigate violations, and adopt administrative regulations to implement the change, effective July 15, 2026. The bill does not currently establish a new continuing education requirement for the new PTA license — base renewal remains biennial (odd-numbered years, by March 31) for both PT and PTA. Elite will update this page if the Board adopts a continued-competency requirement.
Mandatory CE Topics

Kentucky PTs and PTAs must complete 2 hours in jurisprudence every renewal period.
