Attorneys general in 25 states and the District of Columbia recently joined litigation challenging the Department of Education's RISE final rule and related federal student loan changes.(To find out if your state's attorney general signed on, you will find a complete listing of the states signing on to the litigation at this link: https://oag.maryland.gov/News/Documents/pdfs/001%20Complaint.pdf

While the lawsuit broadly addresses the impact of these policies on students and states, we have an opportunity to help the attorneys general better understand the specific impact these changes may have on the Counseling profession, Counseling students, and access to behavioral health care in their states.

In cooperation with NBCC, ACES is asking you to contact your attorney general if they signed on to the litigation to:

*Thank them for joining the litigation
*Introduce yourself as a Professional Counselor, student or educator in their state
*Share personal experiences and perspectives from the Counseling field
*Help elevate the unique workforce and access-to-care concerns facing the Counseling profession

We strongly encourage you to personalize your message. Sharing your own experiences as a Counselor, Counseling student, educator or advocate can help your attorney general better understand how these policies impact the future Counseling workforce and the communities you serve.

You can utilize the NBCC VoterVoice system to easily send your message. You can access the VoterVoice at this link:

The Department of Education (ED) has finalized its Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) rule, which will exclude Mental Health Counseling programs from professional degree status beginning July 1, 2026.

Despite the decision, we’ll continue to advocate for professional degree status for Counselors through congressional engagement, student support, and professional organization collaboration.

We encourage you to join us and call your legislators. Learn more about the ED’s decision and its consequences at https://bit.ly/DOE-RISE
