AI Summary
This bill expands the types of healthcare credentials that qualify for the Kentucky healthcare workforce investment fund by adding a license for speech-language pathology or audiology, which are professions focused on communication and hearing disorders. The Kentucky healthcare workforce investment fund, established to support the state's healthcare professionals, currently recognizes a variety of credentials, including those for counselors, medical professionals, nurses, therapists, and social workers. By including speech-language pathology and audiology licenses, this bill aims to broaden the scope of professionals eligible for support through this fund, thereby potentially strengthening the healthcare workforce in these specialized areas within Kentucky.
