Counselors face licensing fees and rules

North Dakota’s Board of Counselor Examiners sets fees by rule for counselor license applications and renewals. The law adds fees for duplicate licenses and technology services but sets no dollar amounts. The board must approve and administer counselor exams, set continuing education requirements for renewal, and establish a counseling ethics code. It must also issue provisional or probationary licenses and publish licensed counselors’ names and addresses each year. The board must handle money under state deposit and payment rules and adopt rules needed to carry out the licensing law.
