Both our President, Karen Atlas and our Treasurer, Dr. Jenny Moe attended the PTBC Sunset Review public meeting in person on November 19, 2025 for the express purpose of providing public comment on Section 7 (Workforce Development and Job Creation).
Remote access was not offered for public comment, so every effort was made to attend the meeting in person. During that meeting, they clearly articulated how provisions within the current PT Practice Act limit workforce development and job creation, and requested that these barriers be acknowledged and addressed as part of the upcoming Sunset Review. They also submitted letters before and after the meeting to ensure clear intent of the public comments.
However, the comments were not reflected in Section 7 of the report. Instead, they appear to have been placed under a passive “Past Issues” section (screenshot in comments), without any indication of action, analysis, or intent to resolve the concerns raised.
This outcome is particularly troubling given the lack of transparency that surrounds the November 19 meeting. It was not recorded and to our knowledge, the minutes to that meeting have yet to be drafted and approved by the Board. For those reasons, we are not able to tell if the public comments were documented appropriately either. We have tried repeatedly to gain insight from Mr. Kaiser, the Executive Officer, but to date, not received any answers as to who was responsible for placing this important issue in such a passive position within the Report.
Stay tuned...we plan to elevate this issue to the highest degree and will not relent until it is properly resolved.
