Lawmakers gave first-round approval March 22 to a bill that would change Nebraska\u2019s supervision requirement for attaining certification as a marriage and family therapist.<\/p>\n
As introduced, LB1148 would specify that the current 3,000 hours of supervised experience include:
\n\u2022 1,500 hours of direct client contact during the five years preceding application for certification;
\n\u2022 at least 100 hours of supervisor-supervisee contact hours with a qualified supervisor; and
\n\u2022 supervision provided at least one hour per week or two hours every two weeks.<\/p>\n
This bill also would amend the definition of qualified supervisor.<\/p>\n
Grand Island Sen. Mike Gloor, sponsor of the bill, said the measure is aimed at addressing a shortage of marriage and family therapists in Nebraska.<\/p>\n
Following adoption of a technical Health and Human Services Committee amendment on a 34-0 vote, senators advance the bill to select file 33-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
