Addictions professionals-licensing.
This bill (SF 126) updates Wyoming's licensing rules for addictions professionals, including certified addictions practitioners and licensed addictions therapists. It requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field (like psychology or criminal justice) or equivalent education, specifies supervised clinical experience hours (4,000 for associate degree holders), and allows applicants to use exams from national organizations like NADAC or ICC. Crucially, it creates a new pathway for out-of-state license holders to obtain Wyoming licensure without retaking exams if they hold a valid license in another state with "substantially similar" practice scope for at least two years. The bill also sets standards for clinical supervisors and mandates the licensing board to adopt implementing rules by October 2019.
