HOUSE BILL 393
RS30836 / H0393
This legislation establishes the “Counseling Compact,” allowing Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors to voluntarily be licensed to practice in-person or telehealth in any compact state under a (LCPCs), privilege-to-practice, which is equivalent to a license. To obtain a privilege-to-practice, an LCPC must have an active, unencumbered license issued by the LCPC’s home state, obtain a fingerprint based criminal history check, and hold an unrestricted license for at least two years.
There is no impact to the state’s General Fund. The Counseling Compact is voluntary, and any fees, such as commission, background checks, and privilege-to-practice will be the responsibility of the LCPC voluntarily applying for a privilege-to-practice in another state.
