AN ACT CONCERNING LICENSURE PORTABILITY FOR MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPISTS.

HB 7081 allows Connecticut-licensed marriage and family therapists to practice in other states without obtaining new licenses. The bill requires Connecticut to recognize licenses from states with comparable standards, eliminating redundant exams and paperwork for therapists moving across state lines. This directly affects therapists seeking to relocate, serve clients in multiple states, or expand their practice without repeating licensing steps. The law streamlines interstate practice by aligning Connecticut’s requirements with other states’ standards.
