Board of Counseling; qualification of members. Reduces the number of professional counselors on the Board of Counseling from eight to six, increases the number of marriage and family therapists from two to three and requires that such members be clinical fellows of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, increases the number of licensed substance abuse treatment practitioners from two to three, and requires at least two professional members representing each specialty to have been in active practice for at least four years.
