Psychologists Licensing Act

This act establishes a licensing and regulatory scheme for the practice of psychology, defining that practice and setting the terms under which a person may hold themselves out as a psychologist. It creates a licensing board — specifying its composition, member qualifications and terms, officers, and duties — and sets the education, examination, and competency requirements for licensure, along with provisional, reciprocal, temporary, and inactive statuses and periodic renewal. It also authorizes delegation of certain acts to supervised personnel, provides for participation in an interstate compact for cross-border practice, and gives the board grounds and remedies for discipline, including continuing education, corrective advertising, remedial plans, refunds, and criminal penalties for unlicensed practice.
