Bill > HB1909

This bill makes a series of technical amendments to Tennessee law, primarily by changing the term "marital and family therapist" to "marriage and family therapist" throughout various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA). These changes are intended to standardize terminology and reflect current professional understanding. The bill also updates definitions related to licensed marriage and family therapists, including requirements for supervisors and the process for licensure by endorsement or reciprocity, and clarifies that certain provisions do not apply to students or individuals working under supervision in specific settings. Some of these changes will take effect on July 1, 2026, while others will become effective on January 1, 2027.
