Members of the board met last Friday, January 27, in a long-range planning session and continued work on a revision of the psychology practice law. Con’t pg 5
This is part of the 2012 Sunset review process. The updated version of the law includes some changes and the board could approve this latest version as soon as this Friday, February 3, at a regular meeting.
“There are some changes,” Executive Director Ms. Kelly Parker told the Times. She also said that the board is “definitely” working to be “proactive” in this process and to stay ahead of any demands made by the legislature. She said, “We are ahead of schedule for Sunset.”
At some point during the upcoming legislative session the board will likely be called on to submit information to legislators, which may include a new practice law to replace the one that is to be automatically terminated by Sunset. It is also possible that the current law can stay active and in place, if a new one is not requested, explained Ms. Parker.
The LSBEP members recently completed a long-range planning meeting where they discussed Sunset, telepsychology, frivolous complaints and other topics.
