DOPL Moving to Electronic-Only Renewal Notifications
Posted October 28, 2021
The Division of Professional Licensing is transitioning to electronic-only renewal notifications. Licenses expiring between now and May 31, 2023 will receive one last postcard renewal reminder.
Beginning June 2023, ALL renewal notices will be sent ONLY to your email address on file with DOPL. If you are unsure if we have your correct email address on file, you can update your record by visiting https://secure.utah.gov/doplrenewal/client/addressChange.html
ALSO: UPDATE YOUR EMAIL SETTINGS to allow all email correspondence from StateOfUtahCommerceLicensing@Utah.gov. You may have already received correspondence from this address, as DOPL has been sending license renewal notifications via email for the last few years.

Physical Therapist Administration of Respiratory Therapy Treatments during Declared Emergency
Posted December 15, 2022
During a declared public health emergency for COVID, RSV, or influenza, a Utah licensed physical therapist may administer certain respiratory therapy treatments, including the non-invasive delivery of medication to non-critical patients. This exemption includes permitting a physical therapist to administer aerosols in an institutional setting, even if a respiratory therapist is available in, or within a 10-mile radius of, the institution. See Utah Code §58-24b-403(2). The physical therapist must be adequately trained and work under the general supervision of an actively licensed respiratory care practitioner (respiratory therapist). This temporary emergency expansion does not alter the applicable standard of practice for any profession.
