Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Occupational Code to change the title of a licensed counselor from "limited licensed counselor" to "limited licensed professional counselor." It updates several sections of the Public Health Code to reflect this change, clarifying rules and privileges related to counseling services, particularly concerning medical records and client confidentiality. The bill also addresses relicensing requirements for counselors and outlines specific restrictions on the use of certain titles to avoid confusion.
