State Action
Keep the Academy apprised of key legislative and regulatory efforts in your state related to audiology. What is going on in your state may help inform work in another state, or your update can help the Academy identify trends across states. Also, the Academy can help to identify resources and information that may be useful to you and other audiologists to address legislative and regulatory challenges in your state. Complete the State Action web form whenever you have any updates or requests to submit.
