Provider licensing by primary boards for NILs

Licensures for behavioral health practitioners are issued by different boards depending on the education and training of the practitioner. Each board has its own regulations starting with New Mexico Statues Annotated (NMSAs) and more specific New Mexico Administrative Codes (NMACs). These include licensure requirements, approved supervisors, and CEU and renewal criteria.

In general, statutes can be searched and reviewed here.
