SB75 signed to let speech and audiology professionals join an interstate compact
Summary
SB75 establishes an interstate compact for speech-language pathologists and audiologists; backers said the compact will speed licensure and improve access to care across Alaska, particularly in shortage areas.
Sen. David Wilson and other supporters described SB75 as an interstate compact that will allow licensed speech-language pathologists and audiologists from member states to practice more easily in Alaska. Wilson thanked the Speech and Hearing Association, AARP and national compact coordinators for testimony and technical support during committee hearings.
Supporters said the compact will reduce licensing delays that can keep clinicians out of the workforce for months and help expand access in underserved communities. The governor signed SB75 at the Capstone event; officials noted that administrative steps and compact membership processes will follow the statutory enactment.
