What does the bill do?
The bill adds to the Regulation of Practice of Health Professions Law (2008) a series of provisions regulating arts therapy. The bill sets a new definition of "arts therapist" and conditions for receiving a certificate: a bachelor's or master's degree from a recognized institution of higher education, practical training of no less than 600 hours, and completion of 960 hours of advanced training. The bill also grants eligibility for a certificate to therapists who taught courses until December 2018 or who received recognition of status from the Ministry of Health by July 2005. In addition, the bill amends the Patient's Rights Law to include arts therapists in the relevant definitions.
