Introduced by: L. Karen Darner | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Professional regulations; substance abuse treatment professionals. Requires licensure of substance abuse treatment professionals, i.e., licensed substance abuse treatment practitioners. This regulatory scheme will license individuals with master's degrees to provide independent treatment. The composition and name of the existing board are changed to include substance abuse treatment practitioners and additional marriage and family therapists. A version of this bill was introduced and passed in 1996; however, a third enactment required that the act be reenacted by the 1997 Session of the General Assembly.
