SCS/HCS/HB 326 - This act modifies the definition of "clinical social work" to include community organization, planning, and evaluation. It also prohibits the usage of specific abbreviations, including abbreviations like "SW", "BSW", and "MSW", by public and private organizations unless the volunteers or employees meet the criteria of Chapter 337, RSMo. This act also specifies that mental health benefits offered by insurance companies, health services corporations, and health maintenance organizations shall include, subject to contractual provisions, a licensed marital and family therapist. A portion of this act is similar to a portion of CCS/HCS/SB 296 (2009). EMILY KALMER
