General Information
Action Summary The Board has conducted a comprehensive review of current regulations governing the practice of professional counseling and determined that it is essential to continue the regulation of licensed professional counselors, but that there are modifications necessary to clarify and update requirements. The Board will address the education and experience necessary for clinical licensure by examination or endorsement to provide assurance of minimal competency in clinical counseling. Additionally, the Board has found some gaps in its standards of practice and grounds for unprofessional conduct which it intends to close with proposed amendments.
