HOUSE BILL 73
Law
Counseling, drug courts
DRUG COURTS AND MENTAL HEALTH COURTS – Adds to existing law to authorize counseling services to an adult receiving service through a drug or mental health court.
RS30155 / H0073
This bill clarifies that licensed counselors can work in Idaho drug courts and mental health courts, even if the counselors have a past criminal conviction. Current rules at the Department of Health and Welfare prohibit licensed counselors with certain convictions from serving clients in those courts. So this bill gives DHW direction to remove the prohibition specifically for professional counseling services through Idaho’s treatment courts.
