This bill proposes the repeal of the existing licensing exemption for psychotherapy activities or services provided by individuals employed by state, county, or municipal agencies, as well as other political subdivisions and duly chartered educational institutions. Specifically, it targets the legal language found in RSA 329-B:28, I(b), which currently allows these individuals to operate without a license in the field of psychotherapy.

By removing this exemption, the bill aims to ensure that all individuals providing psychotherapy services are subject to the same licensing requirements, thereby enhancing the standards and accountability within the profession. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approved date of June 2, 2025, and an effective date of August 1, 2025.
