Bill Summary
CONCERNING REQUIREMENTS TO PRACTICE AS A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to the requirements for practicing as a mental health professional in Colorado. It removes the requirement for mental health professionals to explain the different levels of regulation (licensure, registration, and certification) to clients. It allows qualified psychometricians or student trainees to administer required psychological testing under supervision. The bill also introduces requirements for mental health professionals to pass a jurisprudence examination, renew their registrations within specific timelines, and complete continuing professional development hours to maintain their registrations. These requirements apply to psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, and addiction counselors.
