Abstract
(SB0707 · 103rd Legislature) Health occupations: marriage and family therapists; licensing requirements for marriage and family therapists; modify, and require continuing education. Amends secs. 16903 & 16909 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16903 & 333.16909) & adds secs. 16909a & 16914. Latest action (2026-06-17): Referred To Committee On Families And Veterans
Why this matters
Marriage and family therapists licensed in Michigan would face updated qualification standards and a new continuing education mandate, raising ongoing compliance costs for licensees and employers in behavioral health. The change extends Michigan’s pattern of layering continuing-education obligations onto health occupation licenses regulated under the Public Health Code.
