H.B. 374 Speech, Language, and Hearing Occupations Licensing Amendments

What this bill does

H.B. 374 moves licensing for audiologists and speech-language pathologists out of the State Board of Education and into the state's licensing division, and phases out the separate licensing board. It also defines the scope of audiology and speech-language pathology work, sets rules for invasive procedures, lets national licensure count toward renewal, and allows follow-up hearing aid visits for minors.

  1. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)1:51:29

     First substitute. We're moving them up because they have some time crunches. So, Senator Vickers, glad you could be here. Go ahead.

  2. Sen. Vickers1:51:38

     Thank you. Uh, Mr. Chair. I didn't realize that, uh, Representative Ballard was going to be able to join. She certainly is the lead sponsor on the bill. I'm the friend that she phoned to kind of fill in for her, but I know that she's got some exciting things going on in her family today. So, uh, I, I'll leave it up to her whether she wants to, to do some presentation and I'll try to do some follow up or whatever. Great. Thank you. Go ahead.

  3. Rep. Melissa G. Ballard1:52:04

     Uh, I, I appreciate that. Um, Senator Vickers, I, I just wanna say from where I am here, uh, we worked closely with the speech language pathologist groups, hearing and specialists and audiologists. Uh, initially the licensure review was included in the Omnibus bill with a lot of other professions, and, uh, we, uh, took all of that out and worked closely with the industry and, uh, appreciate the work with Jeff Shumway and all of the organizations. And First Sub has brought a lot of people to the table. And I think we've, we've got a, a thumbs up from, from all the industries, so appreciate everyone's involvement.

  4. Sen. Vickers1:52:46

     Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I could maybe continue on with that as she, as she mentioned, and hopefully the, uh, I've given some handouts to the staff that representing Ballard Prepared. Hopefully those got passed out with your permission. Yep.

  5. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)1:52:58

     And, uh, go ahead, please.

  6. Sen. Vickers1:53:00

     As she mentioned in, in the interim, during business and Labor, we were talking about a, a, a bigger bill that had had more components in it, and this was included in that. And that this piece of it, there was really no consensus at that time and felt like it'd be best to, to take that out and run it as a separate bill. And Representative Ballard, who's on that committee, uh, volunteered to do that with, if you look at the handout, and I think to, if you look at the highlights, you know, looking, looking for example on educational issues, the high level, the bill would remove licensing of school audiologists and school, uh, speech and language pathologist from the State Board of Education and consolidate all speech and hearing professionals under a single license issued by the Division of Professional Licensing. Currently, we have kind of separated out, we felt like it'd be more appropriate to move it over into doppel, and that seems to be, that seems to make sense to me. If you look at the speech language pathologist and audiologist licensing board, uh, the bill will would phase out and eventually repeal the, the audiologist and, and SLP and audiologist licensing board. Uh, it's got a delayed implementation, so there is a runway on that. It'd be July 28. It also would give all, give Doppel authority to convene temporary working groups to assist in carrying out their duties. So how this would work is if there was something that came forward that needed to be discussed and felt like that there needed some more expertise, DOPPEL would have the authority to convene, uh, a panel, a temporary panel of experts to look at that particular issue. Scope of practice. The bill would clarify the scope of practice for audiologists and SOPs, grant new direct discretion to PLE to implement standards for licensees performing invasive procedures, and create new regulations around these interactions with minors. Um, here again, that was a, something that we needed to clarify. And during the, the time that's been spent on the bill, I think that we've moved forward to a, a spot that makes sense. Licensing qualifications. The bill would permit the SOP and audiology license applicants to use national certification as an alternate path. And we would, traditional education, the bill would also permit license holders to use continued national certification to fulfill their continuing education requirements. And with your permission, uh, I do have Jeff Shumway here, who is with, from the Department of Commerce, and specifically the Office Professional Licensure Review. If your permission, I'd like to turn some time to him

  7. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)1:55:30

     to explain some things that I may have left out. Yes, Please. Thank you.

  8. Jeff Shumway, Director, Office of Professional Licensure Review1:55:34

     And thank you Jeff Shumway, director of the Office of Professional Licensure Review. Um, first off, really appreciate the Senator Vickers being here and Representative Ballard online. Um, we're very happy with the bill as it is. It accomplishes a great deal of what we were looking to do through our recommendations. It also involves a great deal of recommendations that are separate from Opular, but we've reviewed, and we're fine with. The one thing I would add is there's a significant streamlining so that hearing instrument specialists can enter the occupation more easily, which we think is a significant win for the Utah public. And with that, I'll uh, conclude. Thank you.

  9. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)1:56:08

     Thank you. Does that conclude your presentation?

  10. Sen. Vickers1:56:12

      Yes. Other than just to follow up on, uh, Representative Ballard mentioned that there has been a number of groups working on this. I just, you know, want you the committee to be aware that the American Speech and Hearing Association, the Utah Speech and Hearing Association, international Hearing Society, have all indicated they support the bill and appreciate the work done on it.

  11. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)1:56:33

      Thank you. Okay. Uh, we are going to bring it to the committee for clarifying questions. Seeing none, we are going to take it to the public. Who from the public would like to speak to this Bill, please raise your hands. 1, 2, 3, 4. Do we have any online? Okay. We're going to, uh, all four of you please come up. Come feel the chairs up. Uh, you're gonna have, uh, two minutes. Go first. Yeah, Go ahead. Okay. Before you get started, who's, uh, for the bill, who's against, raise your hand if you're for the bill. Okay. Anybody against, okay. So you're all for the bill. Okay. This'll be fine. Okay. Uh, go ahead. Let's start on the le who is the first one up there? Okay, go ahead.

  12. Lee Robinson, President, Utah Speech and Hearing Association1:57:35

      My name is, my name is Lee Robinson. I'm the President of U Show, which stands for the Utah Speech And Hearing. This Is, pull that mic right up to your mouth. If you can't, can you pull, try again? Yeah, pull the mic. Just pull, pull it right up. Okay. Can you hear me now? Yeah. Thank you. My Name is Lee Robinson. I am the current president of the Utah Speech and Hearing Association, Usha. And, uh, I represent, um, hundreds of SLPs and audiologists in the state of Utah. And, uh, I am before you today to, first of all, thank, uh, Representative Ballard for working so closely with us on this bill. Um, we, uh, are very grateful for her, uh, help and her willingness to listen to us and listen to the industry. Um, also wanna say that we support this bill and, uh, we're grateful for the opportunity to, uh, be a part of the process.

  13. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)1:58:27

      Great. Thank you very much. Go ahead.

  14. Kristin Norris, speech-language pathologist, Jordan School District1:58:31

      My name is Kristen Norris. I work as an SLP and have for the last 30 years, I work for Jordan School District. And so I work in this, in, in the schools. And currently I'm the coordinator for the SLP services within Jordan School District. Um, I am support of this bill, and particularly the consolidating of that license. Um, so that we have one organization and department that is overseeing that. I think what it will do is, first, it will unify our profession within the state of Utah. Second, it will clarify the expertise of all the SLPs, no matter what their work setting is. And third, it will improve our ability to recruit and collaborate with professionals outside of the state of Utah, which is important as well. This all translates to better transparency for our profession. And first and foremost, consistency in providing top of the line services for all in need of these services in the state of Utah. Thank you.

  15. Kate Johnson, audiologist, University of Utah Hospital1:59:25

      Thank you very much. Go ahead. Um, I'm Dr. Kate Johnson. I manage the audiology department at the University of Utah Hospital. And what I'm about to say reflects my personal views and my professional experience, not the position of the University of Utah, but I want to express my strong support of this bill. And to sincerely thank, um, Representative Ballard for her leadership and collaboration throughout this process. Um, her willingness to listen to clinicians who are actively working in the field really made a meaningful difference. The original Opular proposal, while it was well intentioned, would've had a lot of unintended con consequences that would've limited access to care for Utahans. And this bill strikes a more appropriate balance by protecting the public while ensuring continued high access quality while audiology and speech pathology services. Thank you for the opportunity to share my support.

  16. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)2:00:17

      Thank you. Appreciate you being here. Go ahead. Thank you.

  17. Bryan Allen, International Hearing Society2:00:22

      Uh, Ms. Chairman, members of the committee. My name is Brian Allen. I represent the International Hearing Society and the Society wanted me to, uh, come before you today to first of all express our appreciation to Representative Ballard for all of her work and effort on this bill. We support it. We support streamlining the licensing process. We support simplifying that process. We are grateful that we're opening, you know, more opportunities for people to join the, the profession. We, uh, we also look forward to working with DOPPEL on the rulemaking as it relates to licensing and con continuing education requirements.

  18. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)2:00:56

      Thank you. Thank you. Okay. We're gonna close public comment, bringing, bring it back to the committee for further action and discussion. Representative Peterson.

  19. Rep. Peterson2:01:10

      Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would move that we recommend HB 3 74 first sub OUTTA committee.

  20. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)2:01:20

      Okay. The, uh, motion is to, uh, recommend with a favorable recommendation, HB 3 74, first substitute speech language and hearing occupations, licensing amendments. Any discussion to that motion?

  21. Unknown speaker2:01:34speaker not certain

      Could I speak to that? Yes, please. Uh, thank you. I I wanna thank, uh, the sponsor for this, for pulling everyone together and really appreciate the work she's done on that. Looks like it's a very collaborative bill and appreciate the work.

  22. Rep. Norman K Thurston2:01:48

      Great Representative Thurston. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm sorry, I got here just a little bit late, but I, I want to make clear what I heard from the public comment, um, that this bill simplifies and streamlines the process for licensing and regulation. Um, and then also just maybe a question for the sponsors. Does this keep the requirements the exactly the same as they always were, so that there's no new additional burden on people wanting to become an SLP? Maybe Representative Ballard, are you able to answer that?

  23. Rep. Melissa G. Ballard2:02:20

      Uh, yeah. I think Jeff Shumway could summarize it, um, if he, if he's there. But it does, uh, streamline the SLP. So those who currently get it through, um, the State Board of Education, um, when they're licensed, uh, needs to be renewed. They automatically will be grandfathered into this state licensure. Um, and instead of having USBE, um, have a separate, uh, pathway from those, um, that are doing it through the master's program. So they're actually very much on board. Um, and it is would be a gradual shift and change for those. Um, if I'm sure Jeff could, um, add to that if you're wanting more information.

  24. Jeff Shumway, Director, Office of Professional Licensure Review2:03:03

      Yeah, just, I think it's, it's a lot simpler. Yeah. I'd just like to clarify that we're not increasing any requirements or burden on licensed individuals. No. In fact, in the case of hearing instrument specialists, I think it's a meaningful decrease. And for SLP as an audiologist, it uh, allows them to simply use their national certification, which represents the same current burden instead of having to re present that to Doppel. So in that sense, it simplifies

  25. Rep. Norman K Thurston2:03:29

      Great. In that case, I'm very much in favor of moving in this direction.

  26. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)2:03:33

      Great. Thank you. Okay. I don't see any more lights. So we are going to take a roll call vote.

  27. Unknown speaker2:03:45speaker not certain

      Just a clarification, if you know, maybe just in summation.

  28. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)2:03:49

      Oh yes. You would like the summation. Um,

  29. Unknown speaker2:03:51speaker not certain

      Yeah, I, go ahead. So I'm trying to figure out where the bill was substituted. 'cause there is a first substitute and the showing it's been substituted. I'm trying to figure out where that Was. It was in rules. Oh, in Rules, I believe. Okay. Mm-hmm. Thank you. Thank you. Now that makes me, that makes sense. Sorry. Thank you. Did you, so That was my sum I Question. That was your sum. Okay. Okay.

  30. Committee chair (Rep. Jason B. Kyle)2:04:22

      We'll bring it back to the maker of the motion. Okay. Great. Alright. We'll take, we'll now take our roll call vote

  1. Speaker (presiding)1:15:36

     First substitute house Bill 3 74. Speech, language and hearing occupations. Licensing amendments by Representative Ballard. This bill was heard in business labor with a photo of 11 0 5. Representative Ballard.

  2. Rep. Melissa G. Ballard1:15:50

     Thank you Mr. Speaker. Uh, speaking about bills to love, if you are involved in speech, language, or hearing occupations, this bill really has brought together all of those industries, uh, to look at licensure. So it does three things. The first thing is, is it removes speech language pathologists from, uh, the State School Board of Education licensure, and instead moves them over to national or state licensure, which is what the state school board, uh, was looking at doing. And it simplifies and streamlines all of the, all of those who are SLPs. Um, also it removes the SLP and Audiologist Licensing Board, but provides the opportunity if there are complaints or issues that Doppel can have a separate, uh, one time, uh, boards or committees that can address those things. And also allows doppel with if there are invasive procedures, um, that they can put that in rule. But it also allows hearing specialists if they are given a minor to help them in, uh, with a hearing aid that they can actually follow up. Now, they used to have to take that minor and give them a hearing aid and then wait for another prescription for them to actually see if the hearing aid was working. So, um, all in all, this was initially in the, um, LER omnibus bill and we carved it out so that we could sit down and really have all of these, uh, professions come together and make sure that they loved the language in this bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

  3. Speaker (presiding)1:17:27

     Thank you, Representative Ballard. Discussion to the bill being none backed to Representative Ballard for summation, waive summation has been waived. Voting will now be open on first substitute.

  Transcript (11 turns)

  1. Sen. Evan J. Vickers (committee chair)1:04:22

     House Bill 3 74, uh, for substitute.

  2. Rep. Melissa G. Ballard1:04:29

     Thank you so much. Uh, Mr. Chair and committee members, uh, during the interim, our, uh, interim Business and Labor, uh, committee discussed, uh, the LER bill that had many licensure reviews and recommendations and changes and the speech language and hearing occupations. Uh, wanted to have further time to look at the details. So I carved that out and this is the result of that being taken out of the omnibus, uh, licensure bill with ler. And so I, uh, it does four things. The first thing is, is it consolidates licensing for audiologists and SLPs currently, they can either do with through their education and through Doppel, they can get their licensure or they can do it through the State Board of Education. So this is now moved over without the State Board of Education to everyone streamlining over to, um, to, to doppel. And, uh, USBE is very supportive and there would be a phase out as every five years as they go to renew their license. They would be grandfathered in at that point, um, into that licensure. Um, the second thing it does is it changes the SLP and audiology licensing board, um, that has been in existence. Um, but they are eliminating that. But when there are complaints, um, then, uh, Doppel still has a discretion to convene temporary working groups and assist with any regulatory efforts. Um, and that has been, uh, also extended for a year so that the current board, if there's any rulemaking associated with any of these changes or recommendations, they have a year to phase out their board and make sure that the, the rulemaking, um, details might be there that will help facilitate, uh, any of these changes. Um, the third thing it does is scope of practice. Uh, um, so it defines audiology and speech language pathologists. It also defines invasive profe procedures, um, and rulemaking authority for doppel. So if you imagine those who are in the speech language pathology professions, um, they're, they're working with swallowing patients and, but when it's very invasive, if they have, uh, tracheotomy or or other circumstances, it just provides, uh, that there is some, um, uh, that the employer really is responsible for making sure that they're properly trained for those high risk invasive procedures. Um, and also the last thing is licensure requirements. It also recognizes that for renewal, that if they have li a national licensure, that that is included. So I really appreciate all of the groups, um, within the speech language and hearing occupation, some of which are here, um, coming together and making sure that this language is good. Um, oh, there is one more thing for the hearing occupations right now, if there is a minor who is given a prescription to go get a hearing aid, those, uh, those hearing specialists fit the hearing aid, but they're not allowed to have that minor come back to make sure it's working. So this allows for them to have a follow up visits to make sure that the hearing aid is working properly. So that was also very welcome. Um, so I appreciate all of their support and I think this brings big smiles to all the industry, so appreciate their work.

  3. Unknown speaker1:08:03speaker not certain

     Yeah, thank you. Uh, I compliment you too, because during the interim that became a little tricky. So I appreciate you taking that on. And at least the ones I've heard from in, in the industry are very pleased with the outcome.

  4. Sen. Evan J. Vickers (committee chair)1:08:15

     So thanks. You're welcome. Uh, other questions? Uh, for the, from the committee, seeing none, is there anyone in the public like testify on this? Is there anyone online? Okay, we'll come back to the committee for further deliberation or action.

  5. Sen. Evan J. Vickers (committee chair)1:08:35

     Interest of time. I'll make a motion, um, since I'm the floor sponsor anyway, so I'll make a motion that we favorably recommend first substitute house bill 3 74 with favorable recommendation.

  6. Sen. Evan J. Vickers (committee chair)1:08:47

     Any discussion to that motion? Senator Musselman?

  7. Sen. Calvin R. Musselman1:08:52

     Uh, I had actually turned on the light to make the motion, but you, you beat me, but, uh, just out of a, just outta sake of clarity on, on, it's, if, if you'll allow me chair please. There's, there's no, is there any issues with those that are already being licensed in transitioning from the, the new process? That's all, that's all considered in your bill or is that even impacted?

  8. Rep. Melissa G. Ballard1:09:16

     Yeah, it's already considered. So if they currently have A-U-S-B-E speech language pathology license, they have to renew every five years anyway. So that's all staggered. So as they renew, they would go over to Doppel and that would be grandfathered in. So that's, that's the change of okay. Where

  9. Sen. Calvin R. Musselman1:09:33

     It goes. All right. Perfect. Thank you.

  10. Sen. Evan J. Vickers (committee chair)1:09:35

      Thank you. Okay. Any further discussion? Seeing none, we'll place the motion. All motion. All in favor of the motion to favorably recommend, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Say nay. Is that rule that pass unanimous five to zero. Thank you. Thank you. Pardon me?

     and business and labor during the interim. Determined that this one was, we needed to pull this out separate and look at it. Uh, there has been one last, uh, item that came up as we were dealing with speech pathologists in schools. And so I do have a motion to delete and title and body first substitute hospital 3 74 and replace it with second substitute hospital 3 74, which takes care of that portion of it.

  2. Senate President (presiding)28:12

     Thank you. We have a motion to substitute. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Roll that motion passes. The bill is substituted. Senator Vickers.

  3. Sen. Evan J. Vickers28:22

     Thank you Mr. President. Uh, yeah. Dealing specifically with speech, language and hearing occupations, uh, in the licensing field, uh, it specifically is working on some, some kind of, some from the high level perspective. The bill would, uh, would remove licensing of school audiologists and schools, uh, speech and language pathologists from the State Board of Education and consolidate all speech and hearing professions under a single license issued by the by doppel. Um, the bill would phase out and eventually repeal this, the speech and language pathologist and audiologist licensing board on July 1st, 2028. It would clarify the scope of practice for audiologists and speech and language pathologists and grant new discretion to doppel to implement standards for licensing, performance licensing, performing invasive procedures, and creating new regulations. Uh, the bill would permit speech and language pathologists and audiology licensed applicants to use a national certification as an alternative path in lieu of the traditional education. And like I said, this last piece just brought in the, brought in the piece that we had missed on, uh, those in schools, working in schools. It's been a lot of work and I give the how sponsor a lot of comp compliments 'cause uh, they did, she did a lot of of work in bringing, uh, the, all the organizations together and come together and, and feel good about the, where the bill is. So with that, I'd be open for any questions.
