What’s in it
This bill prohibits counties and cities from adopting or enforcing an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment, or using any other means, to regulate certain behavioral health and human services that are subject to licensing or certification requirements by a board, including behavioral health, psychology, and social work. The bill also prohibits counties and cities from regulating those behavioral health and human services when performed by persons exempt from licensing and certification requirements by a board, including professors, government employees acting within the scope of the position, students and trainees, clergy, and employees or volunteers of nonprofit organizations. The bill does not prohibit county and city regulations consistent with traditional zoning considerations.
