Bill overview
This bill aims to broaden the opportunities for individuals to become licensed school counselors in Massachusetts.

By expanding licensure opportunities, the bill intends to increase the number of qualified school counselors available to support students’ mental health and well-being. The bill is similar to previous proposals regarding school counselor licensure.
