Relating to: speech-language pathologist licenses issued by the Department of Public Instruction and modifying administrative rules promulgated by the Department of Public Instruction. (FE)

Summary

The bill changes Wisconsin law so that anyone hired as a speech‑language pathologist in a public school must already have a valid license from the state hearing and speech examining board, or a recognized compact privilege. It updates related statutes, repeals several outdated administrative rules, and sets the new requirements to apply to the first license application received after the law takes effect. The change aims to ensure that school SLPs meet the same professional standards as other licensed practitioners.
