Licensees must receive contact hours for continuing education activities only for the biennial licensure period in which the continuing education activity was performed.

(2) submission of evidence of licensure in good standing from another state that maintains a system and standard of examinations for speech-language pathology assistants which meets or exceeds the current requirements for licensure in Minnesota.
