On February 27th, Kentucky’s HB 79 took another key step forward, passing its first-floor vote in the House unanimously. With this success, the bill now moves to the Senate, where it has been assigned to the Senate Licensing and Occupations Committee and awaits a hearing. This development marks an important advancement in ensuring that MFTs can move across state lines more seamlessly, increasing the availability of mental health services. The unanimous support highlights the widespread recognition of the need for licensure portability for MFTs in Kentucky. We will continue to monitor the bill’s progress and provide updates on its movement through the legislative process.
