RULEMAKING NOTICE

Please find attached a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact.
Rule Caption: Modifies requirements for licensure by endorsement, education and exam; clarifies criteria for complaint rejection.
Rule Summary: Modifies the core and clinical coursework content areas and adds a requirement for a minimum number of graded courses to the clinical psychology educational requirements for licensure as a psychologist for applicants who possess a doctoral degree from a regionally accredited, provincially chartered, or foreign program. Also allows these and psychologist associate applicants to complete limited coursework outside of their degree-granting program if the applicant's degree-granting program was deficient in required content areas. Modifies the requirements for licensure by endorsement and no longer requires applicants who have maintained an active psychologist license for 15 years or more to fulfill the EPPP exam requirement. Also clarifies the licensure by endorsement and standard application procedures.  Establishes when a candidate for licensure must retake the jurisprudence exam.  Clarifies the criteria used to reject a complaint filed with the Board.
The agency requests public comment on whether the options should be considered for achieving the rule's substantive goals while reducing negative economic impact of the rule on business.  Please email your comments to laree.felton at state.or.us<mailto:laree.felton at state.or.us> or mail them to the Board's office at 3218 Pringle Road SE, Ste. 130, Salem, OR 97302.  All comments must be received by 1/22/13 by 5:00 p.m..
Website: The above documents, along with rule text (for the proposed rules, new language underlined, deleted language with strike-through), are available at www.oregon.gov/OBPE<http://www.oregon.gov/OBPE> under "Headlines."

Please note that this notice replaces the prior Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Hearing which was sent out on this list-serve on 10/18/12.  That 1/14/13 hearing is CANCELLED.

You are receiving this email because you are either a licensee, applicant/resident, or an interested person who has requested to be on the Board's mailing list.  This list-serve does not allow replies.

Thank you,

OBPE Staff
