SB 1238 Licensure of guidance counselors employed in public schools.
Introduced by: Stephen D. Newman | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Licensure of guidance counselors employed in the public schools. Requires the Board of Education, in cooperation with the Board of Licensed Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Substance Abuse Professionals, to promulgate regulations, in accordance with the Administrative Process Act, for licensure of school guidance counselors employed in public schools who are exempt from licensure by the Board of Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Substance Abuse professionals which include education, experiential, and examination requirements consistent with the requirements for licensure of professional counselors by the Board of Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Substance Abuse Professionals. The Board of Education will continue to be the only licensing body for school guidance counselors employed in public schools. No waivers from the licensure requirements can, however, be granted by the Board. The Board must promulgate emergency regulations in accordance with the second enactment. Persons who are currently licensed as guidance counselors by the Board of Education or who graduate from a program for school counselors are grandfathered under the current requirements until July 1, 2003. After this date, all initial licensees and renewal applicants must comply with the regulations promulgated pursuant to this act.
