Bill > HB1328

This bill modifies the board of licensing for alcohol and other drug use professionals by changing its composition and eliminating the license type of licensed clinical supervisor. Specifically, the bill adjusts the board's membership from 4 to 2 licensed alcohol and drug counselors, increases the number of master licensed alcohol and drug counselors, maintains one certified recovery support worker (CRSW) position, and keeps one general public member. The bill removes the "licensed clinical supervisor" (LCS) title and abbreviation, repealing multiple sections of law related to this license type, including its definition, scope of practice, initial licensing requirements, and continuing education provisions. Each CRSW board member must be a state resident, certified in good standing, currently practicing in the profession, and have at least 3 years of experience, with 2 of those years immediately preceding their appointment. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its passage and is expected to have a minimal fiscal impact of less than $10,000 annually in the years 2026 through 2029.
