BOARD RULEMAKING NOTICE

APPLICANTS AND RESIDENCY SUPERVISORS in particular- PLEASE READ!

Please find attached the following Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Hearing and Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact from the Board of Psychology.
Rule Caption: Resident supervision contract requirements; post-degree supervised work experience for psychology licensure.
Rule Summary: The proposed amendment adds a requirement that post-degree supervised work experience completed in Oregon on or after August 1, 2018 must be in a Board-approved resident supervision contract in order for the experience to qualify towards the one year of post-doctoral supervised work experience required for licensure.  This means that work completed at an Oregon "exempt site" outside of a residency contract will no longer count towards the experience requirement for licensure.  Post-doctoral supervised work experience completed prior to August 1, 2018 under exemption from ORS 675.010 to 675.150 but not in a Board approved Resident Supervision Contract may qualify towards the one year of post-doctoral supervised work experience required for licensure.  The amendment requires that Record of Supervised Hours and Final Resident Evaluation report be provided to the Board within 30 days of the conclusion or termination of the contract.  It also clarifies the title usage in exempt sites and the Board's authority to approve or reject residency contracts.
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 no later than 5:00 p.m. on February 22, 2018.  A public hearing will be held at 10 a.m. on February 22, 2018 at 3218 Pringle Road SE, Salem, OR 97302.
