2002 SESSION
HB 534 Health professions; substance abuse counselors.
Introduced by: Jeannemarie Devolites | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Health professions; substance abuse counselors. Removes the deemed certification language for those persons who meet the certification standards for a certified substance abuse counselor in effect prior to July 1, 2001. Current law provides that those persons who are certified under the standards in effect prior to July 1, 2001, will be deemed to hold certification at the appropriate level under the new provisions, when adopted, unless such certification is suspended or revoked. This language is struck; however, retained language requires the Board to certify individuals who applied before the new certification regulations became effective if they met the requirements in place prior to July 1, 2001. Thus, the deeming language is no longer necessary.
