Amends TCA Title 63.
Tennessee SB0020 amends the licensure requirements for professional counselors by creating an exemption from the existing 60 graduate-hour requirement for applicants who hold a valid, unencumbered professional counselor license from another state, territory, or federal district, provided that the issuing body's licensure requirements are deemed acceptable by the board. This bill affects individuals seeking licensure as professional counselors in Tennessee who are already licensed in other jurisdictions. Key provisions include the establishment of criteria for evaluating the acceptability of out-of-state licensure requirements by the board.
