SB 612 Update

CSHA thanks Governor Newsom for signing SB 612 by Senator Ochoa Bogh. This will improve patient access to valuable evaluation of swallowing difficulty. SB 612 provides important clarification that licensed speech language pathologists who received written verification to perform the FEES swallowing evaluation before January 1, 2023 have met the statutory requirements.
