Nevada Passes Bill to Join ASLP-IC as Legislative Session Closes

On the final day of the Nevada Legislative Session, lawmakers passed Assembly Bill (AB) 230, which was then sent to Governor Joe Lombardo for signature. Introduced in February, the bill progressed through committee hearings and passed by both chambers with unanimous support, clearing at the end of May.

AB 230 includes Nevada in the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC), an agreement among states that permits licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists to practice across state lines without obtaining additional licenses. The compact increases patient access to care, facilitates telehealth, and streamlines licensure for mobile professionals. With the bill now on the governor’s desk, Nevada is poised to become the latest state to join the ASLP-IC. If signed, Nevada professionals will be eligible to apply for compact privileges once implementation begins later this year.
