The bill amends and reenacts section 43-47-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, which outlines the duties and responsibilities of the board of counselor examiners. Key responsibilities include publishing an annual list of licensed counselors, approving and administering examinations, and establishing continuing education requirements for license renewal. The board is also tasked with issuing provisional or probationary licenses and establishing a code of ethics for counseling practice.

Significant changes in the bill include the deletion of the previous language regarding the collection of fees for license applications and renewals, which has been replaced with more specific provisions. The board will now set and collect fees for the filing of applications, license renewals, duplicate licenses, and technology services. Additionally, the bill introduces a new responsibility for the board to adopt rules necessary to implement the chapter's provisions.
