CT HB07081

Connecticut will grant marriage and family therapist licenses without examination to applicants currently licensed in other U.S. states, territories, or commonwealths, effective October 1, 2025.

Marriage and family therapist associates from other states may obtain Connecticut licensure without examination if their home state maintains equivalent or higher licensing standards.

Eliminates the previous provision allowing applicants from states with lower standards to substitute three years of licensed work experience for practicum and postgraduate experience requirements.

Licenses will be denied to applicants with pending disciplinary actions or unresolved complaints against them.

Initial application fee remains $200 for full licensure and $125 for associate licensure.
