MI HB4905

Allows marriage and family therapy clinical supervision hours to be completed via 2-way real-time secure technology (video/audio) instead of requiring in-person face-to-face contact

Permits the required 1,000 direct client contact hours to include sessions where families, couples, or family subsystems participate through secure video technology rather than being physically present in the same location

Updates supervisor qualifications to reference "licensed master's social worker" as defined in current statute, replacing outdated references to "certified social worker" under the occupational code

Maintains existing requirements of 300 direct client contact hours during graduate education and 1,000 post-degree supervised hours, with at least half involving families or couples

Makes technical corrections including capitalizing "American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy" and updating statutory cross-references
