Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Provides that a speech-language pathologist who provides speech-language pathology services pursuant to a contract may hold a valid temporary license under the Illinois Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Practice Act as an alternative to holding a speech-language pathology license. Adds a reference to the Section concerning obtaining a temporary license under the Illinois Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Practice Act to provisions concerning speech-language pathologists. Amends the Illinois Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Practice Act. Extends to Janurary 1, 2005 the period until which a person holding a bachelor's level degree in communication disorders who was employed to assist a speech-language pathologist on a specified date shall be eligible to receive a license as a speech-language pathology assistant without meeting all of the regular licensure criteria. Provides that, on and after July 1, 2005 (rather than January 1, 2004), a person who intends to undertake supervised professional experience as a speech-language pathologist must first obtain a temporary license from the Department of Professional Regulation. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Extends to July 1, 2005 the period until which a person holding a bachelor's level degree in communication disorders who was employed to assist a speech-language pathologist on a specified date shall be eligible to receive a license as a speech-language pathology assistant without meeting all of the regular licensure criteria.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Makes changes in the requirements for a School Service Personnel Certificate with a speech-language endorsement and in the definition of "speech-language pathologist" in the provisions concerning contracting for speech-language pathology services. Provides that a requirement for issuance of a temporary license is documentation certifying that the applicant's professional experience will be supervised by a licensed speech-language pathologist (rather than demonstrating that a licensed speech-language pathologist has agreed to supervise the professional experience of the applicant).

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends that language be added that requires the supervised experience in speech-language pathology with students with disabilities in a school setting required for a speech-language endorsement or to be a "speech-language pathologist" for the purposes of the School Code include experience required under federal law or federal court order.
