Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC)
The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) facilitates the interstate practice of audiology and speech-language pathology while maintaining public protection. Florida joined the ASLP-IC as the 30th member state upon the passage of Senate Bill 7016 during the 2024 legislative session. The ASLP-IC has more than 30 member states and is in the process of establishing the commission and operationalizing the compact. Once the commission is fully operational and the member states are fully integrated with the compact’s data system, licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists will be able to apply for a privilege to practice in-person and through telehealth in ASLP-IC states.
Interstate Mobility
SB 1600, Interstate Mobility was signed into law with an effective date of July 1, 2024. This legislation establishes a new universal process for licensure by endorsement for health care professions regulated by the Florida Department of Health’s (the Department’s) Division of Medical Quality Assurance. To qualify, the health care practitioner must meet specific criteria, including various testing, training, and experience qualifications for their profession. The bill also repeals existing licensure by endorsement statutes from various individual practice acts.
Each applicable board, or the Department if there is no board, shall adopt rules incorporating application forms for the MOBILE Act licensure pathway within six months after its effective date. Once the application form is finalized and adopted into rule, the DOH will begin accepting applications. Please continue to check the board website for updates.
