An Act To Update The Requirements For Psychology Licensure

LD 1990 updates Maine's psychology licensure requirements to align the process for "psychological examiners" with that of psychologists. The bill requires candidates for psychological examiner licensure to hold a master's degree in psychology from an accredited institution, complete one year of supervised experience, pass required exams, and meet other standards. This change allows the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists to accept applications for psychological examiner licensure after candidates successfully pass the qualifying examination. The bill directly affects individuals seeking to work as psychological examiners in Maine.
