How long does the RMHCI period take?

100 weeks (~2 yrs) minimum. The Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling sets a floor, not a ceiling: accumulate faster and you still can't apply before the duration minimum.

Does HourPath format Florida hours for the board?

Yes. Categories, ratios, and totals are encoded directly from § 491.005, F.S. · FAC 64B4-2.002. When a rule changes, the tracker changes with it.
