California Becomes 50th State to License Counselors
California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed SB 788, legislation establishing licensure for mental health counselors. With the addition of California, this means that there is licensure for counselors in all states.
NBCC would like to recognize the hard work of the California Coalition for Counselor Licensure (CCCL) as well as the countless dedicated counselors and graduate students who have written, called and visited legislators.
Specific information, including requirements and implementation dates, is posted on the CCCL Web site at www.caccl.org.
Again, thank you for your support of the counseling profession.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Clawson, Ed.D, NCC, LPC

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
October 12, 2009
CALIFORNIA’S GOVERNOR SIGNS the COUNSELOR LICENSURE BILL!
SB 788 BECOMES LAW IN CALIFORNIA
After seven years and three bills, CCCL is proud to announce that its third bill has been approved by California’s Legislature and signed into law by its Governor. This would not have been possible without the dedicated counselors and graduate students throughout the state, and the state and national organizations that support professional counseling.
