State Issues
South Carolina Legislative Information
One of SCAA's major missions is to be aware of, advocate for or against, and inform our membership regarding legislation that affects the profession of audiology. We are one of the few state audiology organizations that is fortunate to have lobbyists working for us.
Protecting SCAA
SCAA’s lobbying team ensures that no legislation is advanced that will harm audiologists of this state. They do that by reviewing thousands of bills introduced, as well as reviewing all line items and provisos of the state budget; by being present and representing SCAA in state government; and by notifying SCAA of any related bill, budget line item or proviso introduced.
