I very strongly oppose
 

This proposal is a "restraint of trade/practice" proposal which discriminates against non-CACREP GRADUATES. I am not aware of data which demonstrates that CACREP graduates are more effective counselors than others. Such a regulation limits the options for practitioners who may choose where they will live, based on the opportunities that would be available to them.
