2. The Legislature finds and declares that the profession of recreational therapy affects the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the State of New Jersey. It is therefore in the public interest to regulate persons offering recreational therapy services and to establish professional licensing and certification standards for those persons presently practicing recreational therapy and for those seeking to practice. Licensing and certification will enable other professionals, health services providers, employers, and the general public to recognize qualified practicing recreational therapists, and will provide assurances that professionals engaged in recreational therapy meet acceptable standards of education, experience, ethics, and competency.
