Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Unlicensed testers can serve as psychometrists

The Board can set rules that let a licensed psychologist have an unlicensed person give certain tests. The tests must be ones the Board names. The psychologist must directly supervise and periodically observe the testing. The person can use the title “psychometrist” only while giving those Board-approved tests and only under the Board’s rules.

Psychology firms no longer register with Board

Firms, partnerships, and corporations that offer psychology services no longer have to register with the Board. This removes a paperwork step and may save time or money for practice owners.

3-year complaint limit, 10-year records

You must file any disciplinary complaint within 3 years of the act or omission. The Board keeps all complaints for at least 10 years, even if it takes no action. These rules set a shorter filing window but longer recordkeeping.
