How many years does a licensee have to file an administrative complaint for general incidents, not related to impairment?

3 years
5 years
6 years
10 years

The correct answer is: 6 years

A licensee must file an administrative complaint for general incidents, not related to impairment, within a period of six years. This timeframe aligns with statutory guidelines that govern the handling of complaints in the physical therapy profession in Florida. The six-year limit ensures that complaints are addressed in a timely manner while balancing the need for thorough investigation and resolution. Filing a complaint within this period is essential to maintain standards of professional accountability and ensure that all parties involved have access to a fair process. After the six-year window, the opportunity to file a complaint may be forfeited, which is designed to encourage timely reporting and resolution of issues that may impact patient safety, practitioner integrity, and overall public health within the profession.
