Summary

The bill revises the notice that marriage and family therapists, educational psychologists, clinical social workers and professional clinical counselors must give clients about the Board of Behavioral Sciences complaint process. In acute psychiatric hospitals, correctional treatment centers, and other facilities serving incarcerated individuals, employers may choose not to include the provider’s name, license number, type or expiration date if safety is a concern, as long as a clear process for clients to obtain that information is disclosed and documented. The change aims to protect providers while still giving clients a way to file complaints.
