Bill overview
This bill makes several changes to laws related to audiology, fitting and dispensing hearing aids, and speech-language pathology in Nevada. It increases fees for licensure, authorizes fee waivers for military personnel and veterans, and streamlines the process for obtaining expedited licenses. The bill also expands the scope of practice for speech-language pathologists to include stroboscopy, revises terminology, and establishes regulations for speech-language pathology assistants. Importantly, it addresses the sale of over-the-counter hearing aids, ensuring compliance with federal regulations that prohibit requiring a licensed professional for access.
