Agency and school psychotherapists face licensing rules
The law ends a licensing exemption for employees who provide psychotherapy services. It covers employees of state, county, and municipal agencies, other local government bodies, and legally chartered educational institutions. These employees must meet applicable licensing requirements rather than rely on this exemption. The repeal takes effect 60 days after the law’s passage.
