The Licensed Professional Counselor Board published or “noticed” 50 pages of guidelines for those with provisional licenses, following the change in the law this past legislative session.
The notice states, “Act 484 of the 2014 Legislative Session empowered the board to provide regulation of the practice and use of the titles ‘Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor’ and ‘Provisional Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.’” Therefore, the Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselors Board of Examiners establishes the rules and regulations herein pursuant to the authority granted to, and imposed upon said board under the provisions of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, Title 37, Chapter 13, R.S. 37:1101-1123.
The proposed Rules cover licensing matters, codes of conduct, supervision, issues with serious mental illness and collaboration, and assessment and others issues for the two newly developed categories of licensees.
The proposed Rules are published in the January 2014 issue of The Louisiana Register, available online.
