CHAPTER 128
H.P. 748 - L.D. 1025
An Act Concerning Licensing and Recertification of Licensed Counseling Professionals
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §13860, sub-§2, as amended by PL 1989, c. 895, §16, is further amended to read:
2. Continuing education and supervision. The board, by rule, may establish continuing education and supervision requirements. Applicants for renewal of license must show proof of satisfying the continuing education requirements set forth by the board. If a license lapses due to failure of the licensee to meet continuing education requirements, the licensee may renew the license upon completion of the required continuing education.
Sec. 2. 32 MRSA §13864 is enacted to read:
Any licensee, who does not perform any of the activities described in section 13851, subsection 8 and who wants to preserve the license while not engaged in any counseling activity, may surrender that license to the board for placement on inactive status. The board may place the license on inactive status only upon proper application by the licensee. During inactive status, the licensee must renew the license biennially, but is not required to meet the continuing education requirements under section 13860, subsection 2. The board shall adopt rules by which a license in an inactive status may be reactivated. Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical rules as defined by Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II- A.
