Relating to the regulation of child life services and the coverage of child life services under Medicaid and health benefit plans; requiring an occupational license; authorizing a fee.

SB 2886 requires child life specialists to obtain a state license to provide services, directly affecting professionals working with pediatric patients and families in hospitals or clinics. The bill establishes a $120 license fee and mandates applicants be at least 18 years old, with the Department of State Health Services overseeing licensing rules. It defines "child life services" as psychosocial support to help children cope with illness, manage pain, and improve overall care experiences. The legislation also relates to coverage of these services under Medicaid and health benefit plans, though it does not specify new coverage requirements.
