SB2110 Summary

• Requires licensees operating multiple offices to copy and display their license at each location rather than obtaining duplicate licenses from the board.

• Clarifies that examinations for hearing aid specialist licensing may not require college education and specifies that doctor of audiology degree holders need only pass certain practical proficiency tests.

• Modifies board member compensation to provide per diem payments at the rate for legislative management members and reimbursement for mileage and travel expenses at the state employee rate.

• Changes violation penalties to reference only "license" rather than "license or trainee permit" since the trainee permit system is being eliminated.
