Bill Summary
Relative to recovery coach licensure
AI Summary
This bill establishes a Board of Registration of Recovery Coaches within the Department of Public Health. The board will be responsible for regulating recovery coaches, including setting education, training, and experience requirements, establishing a code of conduct, and disciplining coaches who violate the rules. The bill also specifies that only authorized recovery coaches can use the title "recovery coach" and practice for a fee, with penalties for unauthorized use. The bill allows for a 6-month grace period before the title restriction takes effect, to give time for the new board to issue authorizations.
