AI Summary

This bill, concerning hearing aid dispensers, clarifies existing regulations by specifying that certain provisions apply directly to "hearing aid dispensers" rather than the broader term "licensee," which refers to anyone holding a hearing aid dispenser license. It also shifts the focus from a "place of business" to an "address or addresses" for reporting purposes. Specifically, hearing aid dispensers who operate at more than one location will now be required to obtain a "branch office license" for each additional location, replacing the previous requirement of a "duplicate license." The bill also defines what constitutes a "temporary basis" for a hearing aid dispenser to practice at another licensee's location or a temporary facility without needing a branch office license, defining it as a limited and short period not intended to be repeated.
