HB 3888 requires behavioral health professionals (including counselors, therapists, and licensed alcohol and drug counselors) in Oklahoma to provide specific demographic, educational, and practice data when applying for or renewing their licenses. Applicants must disclose race, ethnicity, gender, education background, and internship details, while renewing professionals must report workforce trends like practice locations, client-facing hours, and telehealth use. The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services will compile this de-identified data into annual public reports for legislative review, without revealing personal information about individual licensees. The bill modifies multiple licensing acts to implement this data collection system, aiming to improve workforce analysis and planning.
