Summary

The bill would forbid any licensed counselor, psychologist, social worker, marriage‑family therapist, art therapist, or music therapist from using artificial‑intelligence systems to provide therapeutic services. AI could still be used for back‑office tasks like scheduling or billing, but only with written patient consent when recordings are involved. Violations would trigger civil fines and possible disciplinary action by the licensing board.
