LC 101 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise professional licensing laws to correct errata

This bill corrects errors in Montana's professional licensing laws by updating statutory citations for licensed social workers, professional counselors, addiction counselors, marriage and family therapists, and behavioral health peer support specialists. It also amends Section 28-2-724 of the Montana Code Annotated to clarify that employment contracts with these health care providers cannot restrict their ability to practice, treat patients, or solicit patients after leaving a job or partnership. The legislation directs the code commissioner to renumber certain sections into Title 37, Chapter 39 to align with the corrected citations. These changes directly affect the licensing framework for mental health and behavioral health professionals in Montana and ensure their legal protections against restrictive employment agreements are accurately reflected in state law.
