On March 5th, Connecticut's Joint Public Health Committee took another significant step toward MFT licensure portability by favorably reporting out HB 7081. This action moves the bill forward in the legislative process, signaling strong support for reducing barriers to MFT licensure in the state. Now, the bill awaits some administrative steps before heading to floor votes in both the House and Senate. This progress is a testament to the collaborative efforts of advocates, legislators, and MFTs who recognize the importance of making mental health services more accessible. With the bill advancing, Connecticut is moving closer to implementing a streamlined licensure process that will allow LMFTs to practice more freely across state lines. We will continue monitoring the next steps and provide updates as HB 7081 moves through the legislative chambers.
