SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health professions; regulation of clinical psychologists. Clarifies that the Board of Psychology has the power to set licensure standards for clinical psychologists and removes the clinical psychologist from the Board of Medicine. Formerly, clinical psychologists were regulated by the Board of Medicine after being licensed by the Board of Psychology. The physician members of the Board of Medicine are appointed from each congressional district; the Board also includes one osteopathic physician, one podiatrist, one chiropractor, and two citizen members. This bill also increases the Board's membership by two citizen members and notes that no two citizen members can reside in the same congressional district.
