HB 1823 -- Counselors and Therapists

Sponsor:  Cooper (155)

This bill abolishes the Committee for Professional Counselors and
the State Committee of Marital and Family Therapists and combines
the two committees to become the Board of Counselors and
Therapists.  The Board of Counselors and Therapists Fund is
created for the deposit of all moneys collected by the board.

The bill also allows professional counselors licensed in other
states to apply for licensure in Missouri without examination if
the applicant has had no disciplinary action taken against his or
her license in the past five years and has met all eligibility
criteria established by the American Association of State
Counseling Boards or its successor organization.
