State Senator Mattie Hunter (D-Chicago) saw four measures passed out of the Illinois Senate on Friday, including one resolution that was adopted.
“I am pleased with what I was able to accomplish today with passing my four measures,” Hunter said. “I am appreciative of my colleagues’ consideration and support of this legislation, and am hopeful we will see similar outcomes in the House.”
The measures passed Friday are:
SB 62 adapts current state mental health law regarding the definition of what constitutes a “clinical psychologist” in Illinois.
“Having a background in counseling,” Hunter said, “I know firsthand the importance of clearly defining the responsibilities of a licensed counselor and making sure that our mental health care professionals and their practices are on par.”
