Senate passes Gordner bill
HARRISBURG - The Senate passed legislation authored by Sen. John R. Gordner that will provide important updates to the 30-year-old law that governs the practice of speech language and hearing treatment in Pennsylvania. Senate Bill 137 now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.
Senate Bill 137 is the result of several years of discussion with the profession, state regulators and consumer groups. The legislation also reforms the State Board of Examiners in Speech-Language and Hearing, resulting in savings to the Commonwealth.
