RULEMAKING NOTICE

Dear Colleagues,

Please find attached a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Hearing and Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact, and also a Certificate and Order for Filing Temporary Administrative Rules along with Statement of Need and Justification.

Rule Caption: Modifies educational and exam requirements for licensure; 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.  Allows certain psychologist applicants previously licensed for at least 15 years to meet the EPPP (national) exam requirement if they previously passed the exam based on the original licensing board's standards.  Establishes when a candidate for licensure must retake the jurisprudence exam.  Clarifies the criteria used to reject a complaint filed with the Board.
In regards to the notice of proposed rulemaking, 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 January 14, 2013 by 5:00 P.M.  The rulemaking hearing will be held at the Board's office on January 14, 2013 at 9:00 A.M.
Website: The above documents, along with rule text (new language underlined, deleted language with strike-through), are available at www.oregon.gov/OBPE<http://www.oregon.gov/OBPE> under "headlines."

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