§463.28.Emergency Limited Temporary Licensure.
In the event of a national disaster, as declared by federal or state
authorities, the Board may reduce its requirements for limited temporary licensure
for displaced licensees from those states in which the disaster was declared
in order to allow them to provide psychological services in this state. The
applicant would have to provide proof, acceptable to the Board, that he or
she is currently licensed and in good standing in another state and holds
a license comparable to the one that is sought in this state. For this purpose,
the Board would consider a limited temporary license for a licensed specialist
in school psychology, licensed psychological associate and licensed psychologist.
The Board may extend the effective dates of this emergency limited temporary
license.
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
