The bill establishes title protection for music therapists in Wyoming by creating new legal definitions and regulations. It defines a "music therapist" as an individual who holds an active board-certified credential from the certification board for music therapists and outlines "music therapy" as the clinical use of music interventions to achieve specific therapeutic goals.
Additionally, the bill makes it unlawful for anyone to claim the title of music therapist or use related designations, such as "MT-BC," unless they possess the required certification. However, it allows individuals to use music in their professional practice without representing themselves as music therapists. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
