AI Summary
This bill authorizes the issuance of substance use disorder (SUD) professional certifications to individuals participating in apprenticeship programs. It amends existing laws to allow these apprenticeship programs to be reviewed and approved by the SUD certification advisory committee and the Secretary of Health, in addition to the traditional educational program pathway. The bill also specifies that the educational requirements for these apprenticeship programs must be defined by the Secretary of Health, and that the education requirements for apprenticeship participants must meet or exceed the competency requirements established by the Secretary. This legislation aims to provide an alternative pathway for individuals to obtain SUD professional certification through apprenticeship programs, in addition to the existing educational program option.
