SB 17-108

Senate Bill 17-108, also known as the Sunset Speech-language Pathology Practice Act, extends the certification process for speech-language pathologists in Colorado until September 1, 2022. The bill removes references to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and updates the regulations managed by the Department of Regulatory Agencies.
