Plain-language change summary

The revised version of HB 48 includes a new requirement for the Speech-Language Pathology, Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensing Practices Board to develop ethics rules. These rules will mandate that audiologists and hearing aid dispensers educate customers about assistive listening technology and design options that meet current standards.
