CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 806 - Current law requires an applicant for licensure as a speech pathologist or audiologist to hold a master's or doctoral degree from a program accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association or other accrediting agency approved by the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts in the area in which licensure is sought.
Under this act, each applicant shall hold a master's or doctoral degree from a program that was awarded "accreditation candidate" status, or is accredited as set forth under current law.
This act is identical to HB 2095 (2020), and a provision in TAT/SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1682 (2020).
