22 TAC §463.11
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists proposes
an amendment to §463.11, concerning Licensed Psychologist. The amendment
is being proposed in order to provide more flexibility to meet Texas licensing
requirements for those individuals who have been actively licensed in other
jurisdictions for at least 15 years and are in good standing.
Sherry L. Lee, Executive Director, has determined that for the first five-year
period the rule is in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state
or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the rule.
Ms. Lee also has determined that for each year of the first five years
the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing
the rule will be to allow greater access to qualified and experienced psychologists
who are in good standing with other jurisdictions. There will be no effect
on small businesses. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who
are required to comply with the amended rule as proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Janice C. Alvarez, Texas State
Board of Examiners of Psychologists, 333 Guadalupe, Suite 2-450, Austin, Texas
78701, (512) 305-7700.
This amendment is proposed under Texas Occupations Code, Title
3, Subtitle I, Chapter 501, which provides the Texas State Board of Examiners
of Psychologists with the authority to make all rules, not inconsistent with
the Constitution and Laws of this State, which are reasonably necessary for
the proper performance of its duties and regulations of proceedings before
it.
The proposed amendment does not affect other statutes, articles or codes.
