This bill aims to revise laws related to professional licensing in Montana, specifically correcting statutory citations for various licensed health care providers, including social workers, professional counselors, addiction counselors, marriage and family therapists, and behavioral health peer support specialists. The bill amends Section 28-2-724 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to ensure that contracts do not restrict the practice rights of these providers after the termination of their employment or professional relationships.

Key changes in the bill include the deletion of outdated chapter numbers for social workers, professional counselors, addiction counselors, marriage and family therapists, and behavioral health peer support specialists, which are replaced with the updated chapter number 39. Additionally, the bill directs the code commissioner to renumber Section 37-23-104 into Title 37, chapter 39, further aligning the statutory framework with current licensing requirements.
