Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Standard penalty schedule for counselors and therapists

The Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists must adopt a rule that lists each violation and the penalty for it. The rule covers licensed counselors, therapists, and associates. It creates clear, uniform penalties that apply across cases.

Time limits on public discipline records

The board removes discipline from its website and public publications after set times. For lesser violations with no suspension or revocation, removal happens three years after you satisfy the board’s order. For greater violations that included a suspension, removal happens five years after you satisfy the order. The board must keep discipline in the public, searchable license-verification database. If discipline permanently denied a license, the record stays public and is not removed.
