Notes

Article added by P.L. 58-2014. No supervision ratio in statute; supervision is defined by the individually adopted written practice protocol, which the board may randomly audit. No 2025-26 Indiana legislation affecting CAA practice was found. The iga.in.gov code site is JavaScript-rendered and could not be machine-verified directly; article existence and text were verified via the state PLA board page and two mirrored code services.
