Bill > HR1106

This resolution urges state-wide support for the passage of the "Audiology Practice Modernization Act," which aims to update and modernize the scope of audiology practice. Audiologists are healthcare professionals who diagnose and manage hearing loss and balance disorders, affecting a significant portion of the population, including many Georgians, particularly in rural areas. The resolution highlights that the field of audiology has advanced with new technologies and research, necessitating an update to current laws to ensure patients have better access to care, patient safety is maintained, high standards are upheld, and healthcare costs are potentially reduced. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of this resolution to key state officials and all members of the Georgia General Assembly.
