AI Summary
This bill aims to expand licensure opportunities for school counselors. The key provisions are:
1. It amends the requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor, allowing credits earned in a graduate program of less than 60 credits that count towards professional licensure as a school counselor to be applied towards the educational requirement for mental health counselor licensure.
2. It allows a school counselor who meets the educational and supervised clinical experience requirements to sit for the written or oral examination for licensure as a mental health counselor. This provides an expanded career pathway for school counselors to become licensed as mental health counselors.
