Bill Summary

Amend KRS 334A.035 to remove the requirement of needing to complete postgraduate professional experience to be completed under the supervision of a speech-language pathologist who holds a Kentucky license; amend KRS 334a.050, 334A.020, and 344A.085 to conform.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the requirements for obtaining a license as a speech-language pathologist in Kentucky by removing the mandatory requirement that postgraduate professional experience, which is a period of supervised practice after obtaining a degree, must be completed under the direct supervision of a speech-language pathologist who already holds a Kentucky license. Instead, the bill allows for an interim license to be issued for this postgraduate experience, and other related sections of the law are updated to align with this change, ensuring consistency in how these professional licenses are managed.
