What this means for a Michigan counselor
Because Michigan is not a member, a Michigan license cannot anchor a compact privilege, and a counselor licensed in a live state cannot use a privilege to treat Michigan clients, including by telehealth. Practicing across the Michigan line in either direction still runs on licensure by endorsement with the receiving board.
A compact bill is filed in the current Michigan session but has not passed. Filing changes nothing for licensees; only an enacted act, followed by implementation, does.
Every license a Michigan counselor holds keeps its own CE cycle. The Michigan rule is on the Michigan counselor CE page, and the compact vs endorsement comparison covers the alternatives.
