SCS HB 326 -- LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

This bill revises the definition of "clinical social work" to
include community organization, planning, and evaluation and
prohibits any governmental entity or public or private agency or
organization from using any title or abbreviation for identifying
a volunteer or employee as a social worker unless he or she meets
the required licensing criteria.

Insurance companies, health services corporations, and health
maintenance organizations are required, subject to contractual
provisions, to provide coverage for mental health care benefits
by licensed marital and family therapists for up to two visits a
year.
