Establishes professional licensure and certification for tobacco treatment counseling.

S 4316 establishes licensing and certification requirements for tobacco treatment counselors in New Jersey, creating two regulated professions: "licensed clinical tobacco treatment specialist" and "certified tobacco treatment specialist." To become licensed, individuals must hold a master's degree with 18 graduate counseling hours, complete a 42-hour tobacco treatment program, and pass an exam. For certification, applicants must complete the same training program plus supervised experience (ranging from one to four years based on education level). The bill requires these credentials for independent practice and using the titles, but exempts licensed professionals like doctors, nurses, and psychologists who provide tobacco counseling within their existing scope without claiming the specialized license.
