Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of SB 2345, the requirement that anyone offering professional counseling services must have a valid license has been clarified. Previously, the language suggested that the license was only required if specific terms like "professional counselor" or "professional counseling" were used. This change matters because it emphasizes that a license is necessary for anyone providing counseling, regardless of the terminology, ensuring that all professionals meet necessary standards and protecting the public from unqualified practitioners.
