AI Summary

This bill extends the sunset date (the date when a law expires) for certain provisions related to diagnostic privileges for mental health professionals from June 24, 2025, to June 24, 2027. Specifically, the bill amends Chapter 230 of the 2022 laws concerning the education law's diagnostic privilege, which allows certain mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts to conduct diagnoses and develop assessment-based treatment plans.
