Bill > HB4934

This bill amends Michigan's Public Health Code to modify licensing requirements and procedures for psychologists. The bill makes several key changes to how temporary and limited licenses are handled for psychology professionals. It allows individuals with a master's degree in psychology to obtain a limited license under certain conditions, including having appropriate education, training, and experience. The bill extends the validity of temporary licenses for doctoral students and those seeking postgraduate experience, allowing them to be valid for 24 months and renewable for multiple terms. A significant new provision allows individuals whose temporary license has lapsed to be relicensed and have that relicensure count as one of their allowed renewals. The bill maintains existing requirements for professional supervision and limitations on practice for those with limited licenses, such as prohibiting advertising that might mislead the public about the individual's professional status. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for psychology professionals in training while maintaining professional standards and public protection.
