HB 2591 -- LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS (Stinnett)

Currently, a requirement for licensure for speech-language pathologists and audiologists is submitting evidence of completion of a clinical fellowship from supervisors. The period of employment must be under the direct supervision of a person who is licensed by the State of Missouri in the profession in which the applicant seeks to be licensed.

This bill changes the period of employment to be under the direct supervision of a speech-language pathologist in good standing in any state.

This bill is similar to HB 765 (2025).
