Bill Summary
Providing for provisional licensure for speech-language pathologists
AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish a provisional licensure process for speech-language pathologists in Massachusetts. It would allow the state's Board of Registration in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology to issue provisional licenses to applicants who meet certain educational and character requirements, even if they have not yet completed the full supervised professional practice required for a standard license. The provisional license would be valid for the duration of the supervised practice period. Additionally, the bill requires insurance companies to accept the provisional license as a full license for the purpose of credentialing speech-language pathologists.
