Senate Bill 749 amends the certification process for substance abuse counselors, clinical supervisors, and prevention specialists in Wisconsin. The bill specifically changes the renewal date for in-training certifications from a fixed date to a two-year period starting from the date the certification is granted. This adjustment allows for more flexibility in the renewal process for individuals pursuing these certifications.
Additionally, the bill maintains the stipulation that in-training certifications can only be renewed twice after the initial certification. This ensures that while individuals have more time to complete their training, there is still a limit on the duration of their in-training status. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the certification process for those in training, making it more accommodating to their needs.
