There is no evidence that licensed counselors who graduated from CACREP-accredited programs are better prepared than their peers who graduated from other programs. Therefore it is a restraint of trade to make the majority of licensed counselors who did not graduate from CACREP-accredited programs be required to show 7 more years of experience than their peers who graduated from CACREP accredited programs. The ACA Portability Plan is a significantly better option than this proposal!
