Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill modifies licensing requirements for psychologists employed by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in Hawaii. Currently, psychologists employed in civil service clinical positions must obtain licensure within two years of employment. The bill extends this timeline specifically for psychologists working in the corrections department, giving them five years from their date of employment to obtain licensure. The bill has an unusual effective date of July 1, 2077, with a built-in sunset provision that will automatically repeal the law on July 1, 2030. This means the extended licensure timeline will only be in effect for a specific period, after which the licensing requirements will revert to their original two-year timeframe. The change appears designed to provide more flexibility for psychologists working in the corrections system, potentially addressing recruitment or training challenges by allowing a longer period to complete licensing requirements.
