What does the bill do?
The bill adds a new definition of "arts therapist" to the Regulation Law and sets conditions for receiving a certificate in this profession, including requirements for academic training (a master's degree) or a recognized professional certificate with a certain number of practical hours under the supervision of a higher education institution. The bill makes eligibility for the certificate conditional on passing exams and additional conditions, and includes transitional clauses for those who completed training by December 2018 or who hold previous temporary recognition.
