HB 1832 -- Complaints Against Certain Licensed Professionals

Sponsor:  Wells

This bill allows the State Committee for Professional Counselors
within the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and
Professional Registration to remove unsubstantiated complaints
made against licensed professional counselors by offenders who
are in the custody of the Department of Corrections or who have
been ordered into custody, detained, or held by the Department of
Mental Health as sexually violent predators.  Upon the written
request of a licensed professional counselor subject to a
complaint prior to August 28, 2010, by these offenders that did
not result in disciplinary action, the committee and the Division
of Professional Registration within the Department of Insurance,
Financial Institutions and Professional Registration must destroy
all documentation regarding the complaint, notify any other
licensing board that was previously notified of the complaint of
its actions, and send a letter to the licensee clearly stating
that the complaint was unsubstantiated.
