| Agency Decision Summary | The Board of Counseling met on August 10, 2007 and voted to accept the Regulatory Committee’s recommendation to deny the petition because the Board believes: 1) that allowing residents to bill directly would be confusing to clients; and 2) that it is not in the best interest of public protection to allow individuals who are not licensed to bill for therapy services. |
