S 1088 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

PSYCHOLOGISTS – Amends and repeals existing law to revise provisions regarding the licensure and practice of psychology in Idaho.

Idaho's S 1088 revises laws governing psychology licensure and practice. It updates definitions (like "practice of psychology" and "collaborative agreement"), requires board members to have psychopharmacology training, and modifies rules for psychologists seeking prescriptive authority (to prescribe medications). The bill repeals outdated sections about unauthorized medical practice and adds requirements for fingerprint-based background checks. These changes directly affect licensed psychologists, the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners, and individuals seeking licensure or prescriptive authority in Idaho.
