Bill > HB4146

This bill modifies the licensing requirements for psychologists with limited licenses, specifically focusing on their supervised postgraduate experience. For the first 180 days after the bill's effective date, the licensing board must require that individuals with limited licenses under section 18223(2) be supervised by a fully licensed psychologist, with an exception for those working in governmental entities or nonprofit organizations serving benevolent and charitable purposes. After 180 days, the supervision requirement continues, but with two specific nuanced provisions: if the limited license holder is not diagnosing patients with autism spectrum disorders, they must be supervised, and if they are diagnosing autism spectrum disorder patients, they must have held their limited license for at least 3 years before the supervision requirement can be waived. The bill is contingent upon the passage of a companion bill (either Senate Bill or House Bill with request number 384) in the 103rd Legislature, meaning it will only take effect if that related legislation is also enacted into law.
