The amendment extends that deadline to 90 days with the objective of ensuring continuity of care. Physical therapists will still be required to practice within their scope of training and expertise. This Act also clarifies the requirements for renewal and reactivation of licenses to ensure consistency with other Title 24 boards and the processes used by the Division of Professional Regulation.	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	153	SB 110	Delaware SB 110 (153)	bill		enacted	Claire Snyder-Hall David L.
