Bill > H351

This bill aims to expand the licensure opportunity for school counselors. The key provisions are: 1. It allows school counselors to apply their graduate coursework credits towards the educational requirement for licensure as a mental health counselor, even if the program is less than 60 credits. 2. It specifies that experience as a school counselor can count towards the supervised clinical experience requirement for mental health counselor licensure. 3. It explicitly states that school counselors shall be qualified to sit for the written or oral examination for licensure as a mental health counselor. The bill is intended to provide more flexibility and opportunities for school counselors to obtain a mental health counselor license, which can enhance their professional qualifications and the range of services they can provide.
