Kentucky’s HB 79, which includes Access MFTs portability language, has made significant progress! Originally introduced last year and amended to include MFT portability provisions, the bill was reintroduced in 2025 with the portability language intact. On February 19th, HB 79 passed unanimously through the House Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations Committee. This milestone underscores strong bipartisan support for improving access to MFT services by making it easier for professionals to practice in Kentucky. By ensuring MFTs can provide care without unnecessary licensure hurdles, the bill helps address the growing demand for mental health professionals. We appreciate the legislators and advocates who continue to push for this much-needed reform.
