What changed in the latest version
446 added · 686 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest amendment to HB 1564 includes clarifications and updates to the definitions and regulations concerning social work and therapy licensing in Pennsylvania. Notably, it establishes clearer guidelines for the title "Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist" and sets specific provisions for license reciprocity and reinstatement for out-of-state professionals. These changes are important because they help create a more streamlined and consistent process for licensing, which can increase access to mental health services for residents by enabling qualified therapists from other states to practice in Pennsylvania.
