2025 Legislative Changes to Licensing and Practice

  • The 21-Day Temporary Registration is now available in our licensing portal. To begin, click the “Apply for a License” button above and follow the application steps. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team at (406) 444-6880.

     The 21-Day Temporary Registration is available to individuals who hold an active license in good standing in another state and are practicing in Montana for one of the following reasons: 

    1. Provide education
    2. Continuity of treatment
    3. Treatment to underserved populations
    4. Highly specialized treatment care to clients or patients.
  • House Bill 246 -Establishes the definition of “Substantial Equivalency” or “Substantially Equivalent” as meaning that the “education, examination, and experience requirements contained in the statutes and rules of another jurisdiction are comparable to or exceed the education, examination, and experience requirements contained in the licensing provisions of a profession or occupation under Title 37. When ascertaining substantial equivalency, the respective board or the department, as applicable, shall consider the qualifications without regard to the sequence in which the experience, education, and examination requirements were attained.”

  • During the 2025 Legislative Session, the Montana Legislature passed HB 276, impacting how the Department of Labor & Industry serves legal notices.

    What’s Changing: All licensees and applicants are required to provide the department with their current mailing address and any change of address within 30 days. Individuals may consent to electronic service of legal notices by providing a current email address and updating within 30 days of any change.

    All applications and renewals with the department will include the following:

    1. Three additional attestations covering the individual’s responsibility to provide a current mailing address and participate in the complaint and contested case processes.
    2. One question asking the individual if they wish to consent to receive service of Notice of disciplinary matters by email. Once the individual has consented to electronic service, they will not be asked to consent again in future transactions with the department.
