The board will establish standards for education, core competencies, and experience, and will define an ethical code of conduct for recovery coaches. It will also set renewal cycles and periods for recovery coaches' licenses, and may authorize practice by reciprocity. The board will have the authority to fine, censure, revoke, suspend, or deny a recovery coach's authorization to practice for violations of the code of ethics or board rules.
