Relating to authorizing the Board of Examiners in Counseling to promulgate a legislative rule relating to marriage and family therapist licensing.

HB 4288 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Examiners in Counseling to implement a specific licensing rule for marriage and family therapists. The bill formally approves the "27 CSR 08" rule (previously modified after committee feedback) that outlines licensing requirements for these professionals. This rule directly affects individuals seeking or renewing their marriage and family therapist licenses in West Virginia. The bill itself does not change the licensing standards but provides official authorization for the Board's proposed rule to take effect.
