Governor Laura Kelly signs bipartisan legislation expanding the state’s healthcare workforce and improves Kansans’ access to care.

 Senate Bill 131 streamlines the process for therapists, psychologists, social workers, and others to obtain and maintain licenses from the Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board, and it expands who can administer influenza and other vaccines to Kansans over a certain age.

 The bill also allows the State Board of Healing Arts to set up a process by which sports medicine professionals licensed outside of Kansas can practice in the state during certain sporting events.
