From bogus@does.not.exist.com Tue Feb 2 08:12:40 2010 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com (Oregon Bd Licensed Profess Counselors & Therapists Information) Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 08:12:40 -0800 Subject: [oblpct] LPC/LMFT legislation Message-ID: <1D46FB8A9A21644296B3FBDDB937F4F80F38CF@oblpctsrv1.OBLPCT.local> House Bill 3668 was introduced in the Oregon Legislature yesterday. It is a bill that extends the date for LPCs and LMFTs to attest to diagnosis training and experience. The date currently in law is January 1, 2010. HB 3668 changes the date, giving LPCs and LMFTs until January 1, 2012 to attest. This date change is significant because those who were unable to attest by January 1, 2010, may not legally practice as a professional counselor or marriage and family therapist. You can view the proposed legislation (only 2 pages) on the Legislature's website: www.leg.state.or.us Click on "Bills/Laws" and search for HB 3668.
