Education requirements for licensure and continuing education topics in certain health-related occupations modification

SF 3862 modifies education requirements for health professionals in Minnesota, specifically adding domestic violence training to licensure and continuing education rules. It requires new psychologists to complete three graduate-level credit hours on domestic violence as part of their degree, and all licensed psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and counselors must complete two continuing education hours on domestic violence every renewal cycle. These changes apply to currently licensed professionals renewing their licenses and new applicants seeking initial licensure in these fields. The bill directly affects over 10,000 licensed health professionals in Minnesota who must meet these updated training standards.
