### § 111-01-01-01. Organization of marriage and family therapy licensure board.

1. History and function. The 2005 legislative assembly passed the Marriage and Family
Therapy Practice Act, codified as North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-53. This chapter
requires the governor to appoint the board. The board, generally speaking, monitors the
relationship and interaction between the licenseholder and the public. It is the responsibility of
the board to protect the public against poorly trained marriage and family therapists.
2. Board membership. The board consists of five members, of which at least three must be
licensed practicing marriage and family therapists and at least one must represent the general
public. Board members are appointed by the governor. The members serve four-year terms.
3. Inquiries. Inquiries regarding the board may be addressed to:
