Board of Examiners in Counseling rule relating to licensing
SB 332 authorizes the Board of Examiners in Counseling to adopt a rule governing the licensing requirements for counselors in West Virginia. The rule, developed and revised to address feedback from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee, outlines specific standards for obtaining and maintaining a counseling license. This bill enables the Board to implement the rule without further legislative approval, directly affecting how counselors in the state meet licensing criteria. It does not alter the rule’s content but formally authorizes its use in the licensing process.
