Bill > SB395

This bill extends the sunset date for the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2028. The Board, which consists of seven members (five psychologists and two lay persons) appointed by the Governor, will continue to administer the Psychologists Licensing Act. When appointing psychologist members, the Governor must choose from a list of ten licensed psychologists provided by the Oklahoma Psychological Association. Board members serve four-year terms and must take the constitutional oath of office before beginning their duties. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, and is set to become fully effective on July 1, 2025. This type of legislation, known as a sunset extension, ensures that the regulatory board continues to operate and oversee professional licensing for psychologists in Oklahoma.
