Bill Summary
Modifies provisions relating to professional counselors
AI Summary
This bill modifies provisions relating to professional counselors in Missouri. Key changes include:
1. Allowing the executive director of the professional counselor committee to issue licenses to applicants who meet the requirements, rather than requiring review by the full committee.
2. Authorizing the committee to issue a provisional professional counselor license to applicants who meet the requirements but have not completed the required supervised counseling experience, allowing them to reapply for a full license upon completion.
3. Requiring the division to display the names, addresses, license numbers, and status of all licensed professional counselors on its website.
The bill also provides pathways for military spouses, both resident and non-resident, to obtain a professional counselor license in Missouri without having to meet certain educational, examination, and experience requirements if they are already licensed in another jurisdiction.
