6. More About Regulations

The Board's LPCC regulation package that established LPCC related fees was approved by the Office of Administrative Law on May 24, 2011. With the approval of this regulation package, the Board may legally begin accepting applications for LPCC licensure and intern registration. However, the Board must first receive legal approval of all licensure related forms, including applications for registration and licensure. The Board projects that applications will be available for individuals seeking registration and licensure soon.

See our "Approved Regulations - 2011 " for the final regulatory language.
