Bill > HB525

This bill transfers the administration of the program for the deaf and hard of hearing from the Department of Education's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to the Advisory Board for Interpreters for the Deaf, Deafblind, and Hard of Hearing. It also moves the board's administrative functions and the licensing of interpreters for the deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing to the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC). The bill redefines the "board" to include the advisory board and establishes the OPLC as the entity responsible for handling licensing procedures, fees, and disciplinary actions related to interpreters. Additionally, it repeals previous sections of law concerning the program for the deaf and hard of hearing and updates references to the correct statutory sections.
