AI Summary
This bill amends sections of the Michigan Public Health Code related to the requirements for psychologists to practice in the state. The key provisions are:
1. It changes the composition of the Michigan Board of Psychology by adding two psychologists with limited licenses and reducing the number of public members, for a total of 11 board members.
2. It establishes a new pathway for individuals with a master's degree in psychology to obtain a limited license to practice psychology, with requirements for supervised postgraduate experience. This new limited license allows practitioners to engage in the practice of psychology without supervision.
3. It requires licensees seeking renewal to complete a minimum number of continuing education hours in subjects related to the practice of psychology, including courses in pain and symptom management.
4. It maintains the existing provisions allowing psychologists to keep client information confidential, with some exceptions, such as to comply with mandatory reporting requirements.
