AI Summary
This bill provides for the issuance of provisional licenses for speech-language pathologists in Massachusetts. It amends the state's licensure laws to allow the Board of Registration in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology to issue provisional licenses to applicants who meet certain educational requirements, but may not have completed the full supervised professional practice required for a full license. The provisional license is valid for the duration of the supervised practice period required by the national certifying body. Additionally, the bill requires insurance companies to accept the provisional license as a full license for the purpose of credentialing clinicians.
