SB 1308 - This act provides that the Executive Director of the Committee for Professional Counselors ("Committee"), rather than the Committee, shall issue a license to each person who files an application, pays the application fee, and provides satisfactory evidence regarding lack of criminal or disciplinary actions along with compliance with the law regarding licensure of professional counselors and the passage of an examination on professional counseling in this state. The Committee shall review and approve or deny all applications for which licenses were not authorized to be issued by the Executive Director. Additionally, this act provides that the Committee shall display the name, address, license number, and license status for each licensee of any license type on the Division of Professional Registration's ("Division") searchable listing of licensees. A license holder may request the redaction of his or her address from the listing and the Division shall redact such address unless the Committee or any other person has good cause to deny the redaction. This act is similar to SB 441 (2025), SCS/SB 1284 (2024), a provision in SCS/HB 2280 (2024), and HB 2434 (2024). KATIE O'BRIEN
