HB2441

THE CONTEXT: Laws 1965, Ch. 102 established the Board to regulate the psychology profession, license psychologists, investigate complaints of unprofessional conduct, discipline violators and provide consumer information to the public.

WHAT THE BILL DID: The final vetoed version would require all documents received and reviewed by the Board in connection with an investigation be provided to the complainant except as otherwise restricted under state or federal law.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to turn the Legislature's standard for psychologist board into an enforceable rule. It would require all documents received and reviewed by the Board in connection with an investigation be provided to the complainant except as otherwise restricted under state or federal law, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
