College By-laws
The Physiotherapy Act also gives the College the authority to develop numerous by-laws. The by-law making authorities are broad, however they are generally concerned with administrative matters within the College such as the way the College’s committees are composed, the duties of elected officers or the rules for electing College registrants to the Council. The by-law making authorities also enable the College to make rules that establish registrant obligations. These obligations include the type of information that registrants must provide to the College, the fees that registrants must pay to the College and the need for registrants’ conduct to adhere to the College’s Code of Ethics.
While not all by-laws must be circulated to registrants for feedback, those that establish obligations on College registrants do require consultation before they can be approved by Council. Once a by-law is approved, all registrants are expected to comply with it.
