HB 1041 Amended
Thank you for reaching out to your legislative representatives in opposition to HB 1041. HB 1041 was tabled for the 2021 legislative session due to opposition to combining the boards and the need for the practice acts for audiology, hearing aid dispensing, and speech-language pathology to be updated. SDSLHA will work with the licensure boards to identify and repeal obsolete and outdated provisions in law and rule, to streamline processes for licensure of our professions, and to introduce interstate compact legislation. We will address needed updates in the coming months and prepare to propose legislation in the 2022 legislative session.
