SB 100 - This act modifies provisions relating to the licensing of speech-language pathologist and audiologists. Currently, educational degrees must be from an institution accredited or approved by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. The act authorizes the board of healing arts to accept educational degrees from institutions approved by other board-approved accrediting agencies. The act also exempts persons with audiology clinical doctoral degrees from current clinical fellowship requirements which are needed in order to become licensed. Finally, the president of the Missouri Academy of Audiology is responsible for submitting names to the boarding of healing arts when a vacancy occurs on a commission for one of the licensed audiologist positions.
