Summary

The bill amends the state code to remove the provision that professional school counselors must abide by the ASCA Code of Ethics and spend 80% of their time delivering services as defined by that code. It leaves other qualifications and service duties for counselors unchanged. The change would affect how counselors’ duties are defined but does not alter their employment or certification requirements.
