The Michigan Board of Psychology is in the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Continuing education is required for renewal starting in September 2019, and the department may audit licensees. Additionally, Michigan offers “relicensure.” If a license expired less than three years ago, the licensee is required to complete 40 hours of continuing education. If it has been more than three years, complete 40 hours of continuing education and provide evidence of a current license in another jurisdiction or, if no current license, complete the examination.
Minnesota:
The Minnesota Board of Psychology is a stand-alone agency. Random audits of continuing education are performed each month. Additionally, the Board offers “relicensure” after a voluntary or board termination if the licensee has not practiced without a license and complied with the requirements for examination and licensure in effect at the time of application for relicensure.
Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:
The Board reviewed CR 19-117 finding that it erroneously reduces the number of continuing education hours for late licensure renewal from 40 hours to 30 hours. Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis:
None. Any effect on small business would have been reflected under CR 19-117. Fiscal Estimate:
None. Any economic impact would have been reflected under CR 19-117. Effect on small business:
