Bill > HJR40

This concurrent resolution formally recognizes a list of occupations, including nursing, physician assistant, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, audiology, social work, public health, education, counseling, architecture, accounting, and engineering, as professional careers within the State of Alabama. It highlights that these professions require advanced academic degrees, supervised training, and state licensure, and are crucial for Alabama's healthcare, education, economy, and public safety. The resolution urges the U.S. Department of Education to reconsider its proposed narrowing of the definition of "professional degree programs," which would exclude these long-recognized professions, and to restore them to the federal professional degree list. Copies of this resolution will be sent to the U.S. Secretary of Education, Alabama's Congressional Delegation, and relevant federal and congressional committees.
