Licensure for music therapists creation

This bill creates a licensing system for music therapists in Minnesota. It requires applicants to pass background checks (effective January 2026) and establishes definitions for "practice of music therapy" and "licensed professional music therapist" (effective July 2025). The law creates a Music Therapy Advisory Council to advise the health commissioner on licensure standards and enforcement. It directly affects individuals seeking to practice music therapy, requiring them to meet new state licensing requirements to use the protected title "Licensed Professional Music Therapist."
