Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology rule relating to speech-language pathology and audiology assistants

SB 408 authorizes the Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology to establish rules governing speech-language pathology and audiology assistants. The bill specifically approves a previously revised regulatory rule (29 CSR 02) that the board filed after addressing concerns from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee. This rule will directly affect assistants working in these fields by setting their practice standards and oversight requirements. The bill itself does not create new standards but formally authorizes the board to implement the existing proposed regulations.
