Complete·5/8/25

Montana HB744 authorizes speech-language pathology aides and audiology aides, exempting them from licensure requirements.

Montana HB744 establishes that speech-language pathology aides and audiology aides are not required to be licensed. These aides must work under the supervision of a speech-language pathologist or an audiologist for at least 20% of their time and are prohibited from performing tasks that require the independent judgment of a licensed professional. The bill also grants rulemaking authority to the board to establish qualifications and scope of work for these aides.
