🚨Supervision via Videoconferencing Allowance Now Permanent!
Originally set to expire on January 1, 2026, the provision in law allowing supervision via videoconferencing in all settings has now been made permanent with the Governor’s recent signing of Senate Bill 775. This means supervisors and supervisees may continue to meet remotely via videoconferencing for supervision sessions moving forward. This change ensures continued flexibility and improves access to supervision, particularly in remote or underserved areas.
A reminder that if supervision via videoconferencing is used, the law requires that within 60 days of the commencement of supervision, the supervisor must conduct a meeting with their supervisee to assess the appropriateness of allowing the supervisee to receive supervision via two-way, real-time videoconferencing. The assessment must include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
The abilities of the supervisee;
The preferences of both the supervisee and supervisor;
The privacy of the locations of the supervisee and supervisor while supervision is conducted.
The supervisor must document the results of their assessment. If their assessment finds that supervision via two-way, real-time videoconferencing is not appropriate with that supervisee, then they shall not utilize it.
Thanks,
