Description
Board of Counseling; qualification of members. Reduces the number of professional counselors on the Board of Counseling from eight to six, increases the number of marriage and family therapists from two to three, increases the number of licensed substance abuse treatment practitioners from two to three, and requires at least two professional members representing each specialty to have been in active practice for at least four years. The bill eliminates the requirement that the professional members of the Board include two full-time faculty and two individuals engaged in private practice. The bill also removes certain conditions of initial appointment for professional members. Read the Bill »
