AI Summary
This bill authorizes summer camps to hire licensed social workers, physical therapists, psychologists, athletic trainers, mental health care professionals, occupational therapists, and other licensed professionals to provide services to campers and staff. It allows these professionals to operate within their lawful scope of practice and communicate with the camp's designated health director as necessary. The bill also establishes similar provisions for camps that serve children with developmental disabilities, allowing them to employ a broader range of licensed professionals, including those in the fields of psychology, counseling, and special education. The overall aim is to enhance the availability of health and mental health services at summer camps.
