SB 72, the SLP/SLPA Licensure Bill passed the SD Senate today by a vote of 28 – 2 (5 members excused)! We are very excited about this huge step toward SLP/SLPA licensure and we wish to thank everyone who has contacted their legislators and shared information with coworkers in support of licensure. Please continue to make these contacts as the bill now moves to the House of Representatives. When you have a minute, if you are able, express your thanks to Senator Jean Hunhoff for her excellent leadership and support of licensure and thank your Senators who voted in support of licensing people who provide speech-language pathology services.
Best Regards,
SLP Licensure Committee
