Bill > HB05069

This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Public Health to create and implement a licensure process for dance/movement therapists. Dance/movement therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses movement and dance as a means of psychological healing and emotional expression. By establishing a formal licensure system, the bill aims to ensure that practitioners in this field meet specific professional standards, qualifications, and competencies, which will help protect public health and safety by ensuring that only qualified professionals can practice as licensed dance/movement therapists in the state. The bill does not provide extensive details about the specific requirements for licensure, but it mandates that the Department of Public Health develop and oversee a regulatory framework for professionals in this specialized therapeutic field.
