AN ACT RELATING TO BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS -- MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS AND MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPISTS

Summary

The legislation changes the amount of supervised client‑contact hours needed to become a marriage and family therapist associate or a fully licensed therapist in Rhode Island. It also lets practitioners who are already licensed in another state obtain a Rhode Island license without taking the state exam, provided they meet certain experience criteria. The changes aim to clarify licensing standards and streamline reciprocity for qualified professionals.
