What’s in it
AI summary Employers cannot make contracts that stop licensed mental health professionals from choosing where they work or who they see for treatment. These rules also prevent employers from putting time limits on how these professionals practice. Any existing agreements that break these rules will no longer be valid.1
Read the official explanation
This bill prohibits an employer from entering into an agreement with a licensed mental health professional that limits the location at which the licensee may practice, prohibits the licensee from contacting for professional services a person previously treated by the licensee, or imposes a time restriction on the practice of the licensee. The bill defines “mental health professional” to mean the same as defined in Code section 228.1, but not including a psychiatrist. A provision of an agreement entered into between an employer and a licensed mental health professional prior to, on, or after the effective date of the bill that is contrary to the bill shall be void and unenforceable.
