Genetic Counselors Licensing Act

The Genetic Counselors Licensing Act regulates the practice of genetic counseling, requiring a license to practice, defining the scope of that practice, and identifying the persons and activities exempt from the licensing requirement. It creates a licensing board and defines its organization and powers, then sets out how a license is obtained and maintained — qualifying requirements, licensure by endorsement, provisional licenses, transitional licensure for those already practicing when the act takes effect, renewal, and fees. The act also protects certain confidential communications, prohibits specified conduct, and authorizes the board to deny licensure or pursue disciplinary proceedings.
