Bill Summary
Providing for provisional licensure for speech-language pathologists
AI Summary
This bill provides for provisional licensure for speech-language pathologists in Massachusetts. The key provisions are:
1. The Board of Registration in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology will issue a provisional license to applicants who meet the requirements, which include having a bachelor's and master's degree in speech-language pathology. The provisional license allows the holder to practice under supervision while completing the requirements for a full license.
2. The provisional license will be valid for the duration of the supervised professional practice period required by the national certifying body for speech-language pathology.
3. The bill also requires insurance companies in Massachusetts to accept the provisional license as a full license for the purpose of credentialing speech-language pathologists.
