Bill > S106

This bill provides for the issuance of provisional licenses for speech-language pathologists in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. The state Board of Medicine will issue provisional licenses to applicants who meet the requirements, including having a bachelor's and master's degree in speech-language pathology. The provisional license allows the holder to practice under supervision for the period required by the national certifying body. 2. The bill amends existing law to allow those with provisional licenses under the new Section 144B to be subject to the same regulations and disciplinary actions as those with full licenses under Section 144. 3. The bill also requires insurance companies to accept the provisional license as a full license for the purpose of credentialing clinicians, overriding any existing laws or regulations to the contrary.
