Bill > S0076

This bill proposes to adopt the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact in Vermont. The Compact aims to facilitate interstate practice of audiology and speech-language pathology with the goal of improving public access to these services. It establishes a Commission to administer the Compact, allows for the mutual recognition of licenses between member states, and sets out the requirements and procedures for audiologists and speech-language pathologists to obtain a "compact privilege" to practice in other member states. The bill also adds a new subchapter to Vermont's laws to implement the Compact, designates the Office of Professional Regulation to oversee its administration, and sets an effective date of July 1, 2024.
