The bill establishes a new section, 491.019, in the Florida Statutes, which outlines the process for licensure by endorsement for marriage and family therapists. It mandates that the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling must issue a license to practice marriage and family therapy to applicants who meet specific criteria. These criteria include submitting a complete application and fee, holding an active and unencumbered marriage and family therapy license from another jurisdiction, providing proof of all mental health licenses held, and attesting to not being subject to any disciplinary proceedings related to their practice.

Additionally, applicants must confirm that they have not faced any disciplinary action in the five years prior to their application submission. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
