SB 509 -- RECIPROCITY OF MARITAL AND FAMILY THERAPISTS

SPONSOR:  Scott (Wasson)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Special Committee on
Professional Registration and Licensing by a vote of 11 to 0.

This bill changes the reciprocity provision regarding licensed
marital and family therapists to allow a person holding a
current, unsanctioned license from another state whose
requirements are substantially the same as Missouri's to apply
for a license with the State Committee on Marital and Family
Therapists within the Department of Insurance, Financial
Institutions, and Professional Registration without passing an
examination.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2008, FY 2009, and
FY 2010.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill makes it easier for
those with reciprocal licenses to practice in Missouri.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Scott.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
