AN ACT REQUIRING THE LICENSURE OF RECREATIONAL THERAPISTS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

SB 1072 requires recreational therapists to obtain a license from the Department of Public Health. This bill directly affects recreational therapists who provide therapy services, mandating they meet state licensing standards. The key provision establishes that the Department of Public Health will oversee and issue these licenses, replacing any current unregulated practice. The bill's purpose is to create a standardized licensing process for this profession.
