Authorizes certain continuing education courses to be completed online
This bill allows hearing aid dispensers and home inspectors to complete their mandatory continuing education courses online, rather than requiring in-person attendance. It amends licensing laws to explicitly permit online formats for these courses, provided they meet state approval standards set by the relevant secretary. The requirement applies to all continuing education needed for license renewal, with courses still needing pre-approval to ensure quality and relevance. This change directly affects licensed professionals in these fields who must fulfill ongoing education requirements.
