1. The qualifying examination provided in section 346.060 shall be designed to demonstrate the applicant's adequate technical qualifications in the practice of fitting hearing instruments as defined by the board.

2. The board shall promulgate reasonable standards and rules that identify and describe the required technical knowledge and skill of fitting hearing instruments necessary to prepare each applicant for licensure by testing.  Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028.  This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2013, shall be invalid and void.
