With 18 states having enacted the Audiology and Speech-Language-Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) into law, and more states with active legislation, the ASLP-IC is moving forward!
The Academy commends the efforts of audiologists, legislators, and lobbyists to yield adoption of the compact in these states: Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Academy members can keep the momentum going by promoting legislation in your state. Continued collaboration and coordinated efforts can lead to the introduction of bills and successful passage into law.
Each audiologist’s contributions, from advocacy to promotion, can help to get bills passed. Contact your state audiology organization or submit your name through the ASLP-IC website and to see how you can assist!
