AI Summary

This bill aims to include licensed rehabilitation counselors in the definition of "licensed mental health professionals" across various sections of Massachusetts state law. The bill amends sections of Chapter 32A, 175, 176A, 176B, and 176G of the General Laws to add licensed rehabilitation counselors to the list of providers considered "licensed mental health professionals" for the purposes of those chapters. This change would allow licensed rehabilitation counselors to be covered under the same insurance and healthcare provisions as other mental health professionals.
