Establishes certain protections for health care professionals who receive behavioral health care and apply for State licensure.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how New Jersey's licensing boards ask about the mental health of healthcare professionals. It prevents boards from asking about past behavioral health care unless it currently affects a professional's ability to practice safely. The bill also requires training for licensing boards on handling mental health disclosures without stigma, aiming to encourage professionals to seek care without fear of losing their license.
