Some revisions affecting psychologists were published in the December issue of The Louisiana Register. Comments are due by 1/14. Thes revisions affecting psychologists can be found online, in The Louisiana Register. The “Notice of Intent,” is required for changes giving those interested the time to respond either in writing or to request a hearing.
“These are mostly minor revisions,” said Executive Director, Jamic Monic. However, she recommended that “Those interested should read these changes carefully so that they have the opportunity to comment to the Board.” She encouraged all psychologists to follow The Register, because information is made public in this way, and it can affect both psychologists and the public.
The December “Notice of Intent” (page 2893) includes revisions in topics under Chapter 3– Training and Credentials (school, doctoral programs in psychology, specialty areas (practicum/internships), and clinical neuropsychology); Chapter 4– Certificate of Prescriptive Authority (repeal all); Chapter 7–Supervised Practice Leading toward Licensure (duration and setting of supervised practice), Chapter 8– Continuing Education (preface, acceptable sponsorship, offerings and activities); Chapter 9– Licensees (reinstatement of lapsed licenses, temporary license, registration of out-of- state psychologist, emergency temporary registration for psychologists), Chapter 11– Supervision of Unlicensed Assistants in providing Psychological Services (responsibilities of supervisors); Chapter 15– Rules for Disciplinary Action, Applicability, Processing Complaints (applicability, complaints).
