Michigan HB4885 revises references to hearing aid dealers in the public health code.

Michigan HB4885 amends sections 16807 and 17601 of the 1978 Public Health Code to revise references to hearing aid dealers.

It also clarifies exceptions to the practice of speech-language pathology, such as the fitting and dispensing of hearing aids. The changes aim to better define the scope of practice for speech-language pathologists and ensure that the public health code accurately reflects current practices and regulations.
