within six months of that notice unless that period of time is otherwise interrupted by
procedural motions. Existing law enumerates specific entities not restricted by the provisions
of existing law. New law adds the La. Physical Therapy Board to the enumerated list of
specific entities not restricted by the provisions of existing law.
