Bill > A01262

This bill allows a licensed psychologist to apply for a conditional prescribing certification if they meet certain requirements, such as having a master's degree in clinical psychopharmacology and passing an examination. The bill also allows the Department of Education to waive some requirements for certain applicants. The conditional certification is valid for two years, during which the psychologist must maintain a collaborative relationship with a qualified clinician. After the two-year period, the psychologist can apply for a certificate of prescriptive authority if they meet additional requirements. The bill also establishes rules and regulations for the Department of Education to oversee the prescribing authority of psychologists.
