Bill > SB251

This bill revises provisions related to psychological assistants, psychological interns, and psychological trainees by replacing the current registration system with a new provisional licensing system. Specifically, the bill changes how these early-career psychology professionals are credentialed, moving from a registration process to a provisional license process for psychological assistants and psychological interns. For psychological assistants and psychological interns, the bill requires that applicants have completed the necessary courses in their doctoral training program before obtaining a provisional license. The bill makes comprehensive conforming changes across multiple sections of Nevada law to reflect this new licensing approach, updating terminology and references to registrations throughout existing statutes. Additionally, the bill modifies various administrative procedures related to these licenses, such as renewal processes, disciplinary actions, and fee structures. The changes aim to standardize and clarify the requirements and processes for these early-stage psychology professionals while maintaining oversight by the Board of Psychological Examiners. The bill will become fully effective on January 1, 2026, with some administrative provisions taking effect immediately upon passage.
