(A) If an applicant satisfies all licensure requirements as provided for in this chapter, the board shall issue a license to the applicant. A license is a personal right and not transferable, and the issuance of a license is evidence that the person is entitled to all rights and privileges of a speech-language pathologist or an audiologist, or of an assistant or intern while the license remains current and unrestricted. However, the license is the property of the State and upon suspension or revocation immediately must be returned to the board. (B) A person licensed under this chapter must display the document in a prominent and conspicuous place in the person's place of business or place of employment. (C) Only a person licensed under this chapter may use the title of 'speech-language pathologist' or 'audiologist' or 'speech-language pathology assistant'. (D) A duplicate license may be issued by the board as provided by law. HISTORY: 1997 Act No. 96, Section 1.
