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 updates include the requirement for the board to publish an annual list of licensed individuals, approve and administer examinations for counselors, and establish continuing education requirements for license renewal. Additionally, the board is tasked with issuing provisional or probationary licenses and establishing a code of ethics for counseling practice.

Significant changes in the bill involve the restructuring of fee collection responsibilities. The board will now set and collect fees for the filing of applications, license renewals, duplicate licenses, and technology services. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision allowing the board to adopt rules necessary to implement the chapter's provisions. These amendments aim to enhance the board's operational efficiency and ensure compliance with updated regulatory standards.
