Strongly object
 

I strongly object to this proposal. It unfairly discriminates against well trained counselors who did not attend programs endorsed by CACREP. There is no evidence supported by rigorous, well-conducted research that demonstrates that graduates from CACREP accredited programs are better counselors. 

The license portability plan endorsed by the American Counseling Association (ACA) is superior to this proposal, and is more fair to all counselors.
