Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled"Public health code,"(MCL 333.1101 to 333.25211) by adding section 18223a.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the supervision requirements for psychologists holding a limited license in Michigan. Specifically, for the first 180 days after the bill's effective date, any limited license holder (except those working for government entities or nonprofit organizations) must be supervised by a fully licensed psychologist. After 180 days, this supervision requirement continues with two key exceptions: first, for employees of governmental or nonprofit organizations who are not diagnosing autism spectrum disorders, and second, for those diagnosing autism spectrum disorders who have held their limited license for at least three years. The bill is tied to Senate Bill 104, meaning it will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted. The purpose appears to be ensuring proper oversight and professional development for psychologists who are in the early stages of their careers by mandating supervision from more experienced, fully licensed professionals, while providing some flexibility for those working in specific public service settings.
