The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

Chapter 438 of the laws of 2012 reflected several years of negotiations and discussions among interested parties to allow the podiatric scope of practice to be aligned with current educational and clinical standards which included diagnosis and treatment of ailments of the ankle. Certain provisions of the chapter, however, required technical amendments and further refinement. The legislative proposals reflect these refinements and technical corrections.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
