SB 2065 removes a requirement that individuals seeking licensure as speech-language pathologists in Tennessee must be members of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). This change directly affects new applicants for speech-language pathology licenses by eliminating ASHA membership as an eligibility condition. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 63-17-110 and 63-17-111 to delete ASHA certificate requirements for provisional licenses and pending applications. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.
