On April 17th, AB 450 passed unanimously on the floor of the Nevada Assembly, marking another major win for the Access MFTs initiative. This unanimous vote underscores strong bipartisan support for making it easier for qualified MFTs to practice across state lines.
The Assembly’s endorsement brings AB 450 one step closer to becoming law and reflects an increasing awareness among lawmakers of the urgent need to bolster the mental health workforce.
This progress would not have been possible without the dedication and voices of MFTs Ashia McReynolds and Dr. Domonique Rice. We are especially grateful to both for taking the time to testify and share their insights with legislators.
With AB 450 now advancing to the Senate, we will continue working to build momentum and ensure it receives the same thoughtful consideration.
