PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam

When does a physical therapy license expire?

1. On the licensee's birthday

2. At midnight on the last day of the licensee's birth month

3. One year after issuance

4. Two years after last renewal

The correct answer is: At midnight on the last day of the licensee's birth month

The other options may seem more intuitive, but they are not accurate. Option A may seem logical as licenses for other professions may expire on one's birthday, but that is not the case for physical therapy licenses. Option C may also seem plausible since many licenses are valid for one year, but physical therapy licenses actually have a two-year renewal cycle. Option D is incorrect as it states "after last renewal" which may vary for each individual and can lead to confusion. Therefore, option B is the most accurate as it explicitly states that a physical therapy license expires on the last day of the licensee's birth month.
