Modifies requirements for licensure in marriage and family therapy.
Introduced First Reading Assembly Referred to ARP
Summary
The bill lowers the supervised experience needed to become a licensed marriage and family therapist from three years to two years and lets up to 300 hours of client work earned during a master’s program count toward that experience. It also lets applicants sit for the licensing exam once they meet education requirements, even if they haven’t completed all experience hours, and shortens the wait after a failed exam from six months to 90 days. The changes affect prospective therapists and the state licensing board.
