        Amends  the  Professional  Counselor  and  Clinical  Professional      
   Counselor  Licensing  Act.  Makes  changes  in  provisions  concerning      
   definitions, the  exemption  for  students,  interns,  and  residents,      
   unlicensed  practice,  and  qualifications  for  a license. Provides a      
   civil penalty for unlicensed practice. In  provisions  concerning  the      
   Professional  Counselor  Examining and Disciplinary Board, (i) deletes      
   provisions concerning  the  initial  appointees  to  the  Board,  (ii)      
   provides  that  a  majority  of  the Board members currently appointed      
   shall constitute a quorum, and (iii)  provides  that  members  of  the      
   Board  shall  have no criminal, civil, or professional liability in an      
   action  based  upon  a  disciplinary  proceeding  or  other   activity      
   performed  in  good faith as a member of the Board, except for willful      
   or wanton misconduct.  Provides that fees shall be set by rule (rather      
   than specified in statute). Adds rendering professional counseling  or      
   clinical   professional  counseling  services  without  a  license  or      
   practicing outside the scope of a  license  and  clinical  supervisors      
   failing  to  adequately  and  responsibly  monitor  supervisees to the      
   grounds for discipline under the Act.  Provides  that  the  Board  may      
   compel  a  licensee  or  applicant  to  submit to a mental or physical      
   examination,  or  both.  Repeals  a  provision  of  the   Professional      
   Counselor and Clinical Professional Counselor Licensing Act concerning      
   implementation of the Act and transitional periods.
