    LAW CHANGE: DISPLAY OF LICENSE/REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS AND REQUIRED NOTICE TO CONSUMERS
    Effective January 1, 2025

    A new law, SB 1024, sponsored by the Board of Behavioral Sciences (Board), becomes effective on January 1, 2025. It implements a change to the legal requirement that mandates licensees and registrants display their license or registration in a conspicuous location at their primary place of practice.

    To account for the increasing use of telehealth, and the difficulty of physically displaying a license or registration when providing telehealth services, effective January 1, 2025, licensees and registrants are only required to display their license or registration in a conspicuous place in their primary place of practice when rendering professional clinical services in person. The license or registration does not need to physically be on display when services are provided via telehealth.

    CLARIFICATION ON NUMBER OF SUPERVISEES PER SUPERVISOR
    Effective January 1, 2025

    A new law, SB 1024, sponsored by the Board of Behavioral Sciences (Board), becomes effective on January 1, 2025. It clarifies two key points regarding the number of supervisees a supervisor can have: first, it defines who qualifies as a supervisee in group supervision, which is capped at eight individuals; and second, it specifies who is included in the limit of six supervisees receiving individual or triadic supervision per supervisor in nonexempt settings.

    Change #1: Number of Supervisees in Group Supervision

    Effective January 1, 2025, the law defines group supervision as two hours of face-toface contact between one supervisor and no more than eight persons receiving supervision for providing clinical mental health services. 

    Change #2: Number of Supervisees per Supervisor in Nonexempt Settings

    Effective January 1, 2025, the law has been changed to state that supervisors in nonexempt settings cannot serve as individual or triadic supervisors for more than a total of six persons at any one time who are: 1) Receiving supervision for providing clinical mental health services in a nonexempt setting; and 2) Not fully licensed at the highest level for independent clinical practice. In addition, the law now also clarifies that the limit of six supervisees per supervisor applies across all nonexempt settings in which the supervisor is working, if they work for multiple employers.
