Strongly Oppose
 

Any legislation that restricts rather than broadens access to services based upon insufficient data should not go into effect. There is no evidence that clinicians from CACREP schools are better prepared than those who did not. This proposal needlessly requires people to show 7 more years of experience if they did not go to a CACREP school, in effect limiting access to services. The Counseling Compact is a better option than this proposal.
