Executive Director David Fye said the agency is working with the Office of Information Technology Services and a vendor (AcelA) to move to the state’s new enterprise licensing system. Fye said the migration will allow applicants to apply online, integrate payments and reduce duplicate manual processes; he estimated a full transition could take about 18 months.

Staff also described work to scan and store older records electronically and to revise the agency’s records-retention schedule so more historical records could be transferred to the State Archives while retaining necessary electronic backups.

Fye updated members on regulatory work: the board and advisory committees have been reviewing unprofessional-conduct regulations for all professions, creating a side-by-side grid so the board can determine where language should be standardized and where profession-specific language is appropriate. Fye said the board hopes to publish proposed regulations for public comment later in the year and implement changes before year-end if external review timelines permit.

Finally, Fye summarized a presentation the board heard about alternative remediation for licensees with disciplinary issues; the vendor (described in the meeting as an outside remediation provider) offers intensive remediation programming that a licensee would pay for if the board included it as part of a consent agreement. Fye said the board will further discuss whether to utilize such resources at its July meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kansas BSRB - Licensed Psychology Advisory Committee Meeting on June 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Agency staff briefed the advisory committee on an enterprise licensing-system migration, electronic records efforts, and work to standardize unprofessional-conduct regulations across professions; staff also summarized a vendor presentation on alternative disciplinary remedies that the board will consider at its July meeting.","taxTitle","Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board, State Agencies, Organizations, Executive, Kansas","taxId",22355,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6526317,"Kansas psychology advisory committee recommends two nominees to board",1348,472000,1820000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2&start=472&end=1820","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2/thumbnail_472000.jpg","/articles/6526317/Kansas/Kansas-psychology-advisory-committee-recommends-two-nominees-to-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526317-b66c9bcabee29aedc42356ce3b5d1f9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776178462&Signature=QkvsIXZovmMjXuRpVzeLv8NaeoPQxwgUPFcucdaSQaoyvyO2TxGSVGHFo-1Kwnfe39mZ41sknoezGM04iTxdUmn7Gt5YvDxHRQZ~ppQvv~~-EKgDzPxMJzu1wSFpBwoZeKGl3br8NzP6VrhUqJbDrfkmVX7IjoQcc1ZID~JgSfGZhwSSsJrhYwXTBzZL~4z5Qk57F9suG~sqFiNdJVnahV81lpwsgeHZ9blz~91XC1d8-meKPGOdpCH~FKMcAnT5Y3WS6wX2yU6n4I2eCHF89zYfEjvBrGZyD5biZ6EwF3kIYDjSiTJ01p33M97TgCopYWVSXrG-6kLoiyGYx53nfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Licensed Psychology Advisory Committee of the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board recommended Jennifer Fontaine and Robert Robert Twillman to fill two open advisory committee positions, the committee chair said during a remote meeting.

Committee Chair Richard Nobles introduced the discussion of applicants and asked for preferences. After committee members discussed several candidates’ backgrounds, Nobles said, “Would this be of consensus? Are there any anyone would want to, to not nominate these folks? Seeing none, it looks like we've arrived unanimous consent.”

The recommendation followed a review of seven applicants for two seats that will open at the start of the next fiscal year, July 1. Executive Director David Fye told the committee he would draft a letter summarizing the committee’s review and recommendation and provide a copy to Chair Nobles before forwarding it to Board Chair David Anderson. Fye said the board chair has the official authority to appoint advisory committee members and that appointments would likely be considered at the board’s July 28 meeting.

Members discussed geographic and practice-area diversity while weighing candidates. Several members said they favored candidates who bring experience in integrated behavioral health, forensic practice and research. Committee members who spoke in favor of the two nominees included Sarah Kirk, Mark Goodman, Chris Leonard and others; Leonard noted that one recommended candidate is based in Topeka, a location he said is not currently represented on the committee.

The committee did not take a formal recorded roll-call vote on the appointments; Nobles recorded the group’s consensus and staff will prepare the formal recommendation letter and forward it through the board’s established appointment process.

The advisory committee also completed routine procedural business during the meeting, including approval of the meeting agenda and the April minutes.","The Licensed Psychology Advisory Committee of the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board recommended Jennifer Fontaine and Robert Robert Twillman to the board chair for appointment to two open advisory seats.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6526306,"BSRB committee discusses AI regulation, plans jurisprudence webinar with CE incentive",920,5655000,6575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2&start=5655&end=6575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2/thumbnail_5655000.jpg","/articles/6526306/Kansas/BSRB-committee-discusses-AI-regulation-plans-jurisprudence-webinar-with-CE-incentive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526306-4771bfd90ef7395a17f08b0d1d1df844/orig.mp4?Expires=1776178462&Signature=PUCBAy5t-LHvkrEF159F0vbWRK~RilpkDDR2AsERtkYnYa5nJa0ogRHnchFfuJ2acAnPnq4iwzKANbtPd0tPmRNS40kN~kS9GTkcOl67COMaXz6UOpwS123w3Io5RM4MHYxuVPhPayxqlk4dKPTNqHz-Ps1-KvBIL~4th~~sUyea9VwGDDENx4B3guLfKsinI-rE1CoSnpm44iCpLxVoslTNdT9uQ2PyNCYCelAxBV0LNgN1eoArair-RzqBWbpu2qddM0nP7yq~yCMmEHniMGl01Cod~WsoGyrHnMjCXpQkeF2G~Hj75S056uunvxFPjgjiIYE7D16lD0WEVZFAtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Licensed Psychology Advisory Committee discussed two policy topics: regulation of artificial intelligence in behavioral-health practice and a proposal to offer an optional jurisprudence training webinar for licensees.

David Fye told the committee that state information-technology partners have discussed limited AI tools, such as chatbots built from agency FAQs, as possible accessibility tools. At the federal level, Fye reported that language in a House appropriations bill — if enacted into law — could broadly restrict states’ ability to regulate artificial intelligence for up to 10 years. He said the measure has not cleared the Senate and that the board will monitor federal activity while continuing state-level discussions.

On jurisprudence, Fye said the board had considered whether to require a jurisprudence exam for licensure and instead proposed a different approach: a voluntary webinar covering jurisprudence concepts, optionally paired with a free continuing-education credit to encourage participation. The board sought two volunteers from advisory committees to help craft content. Committee members Mark Goodman and Tiffany Johnson volunteered to work with staff; David Fye said he may invite other members to review drafts as they are developed.

Committee members flagged potential conflicts between any broad federal preemption of AI regulation and existing requirements such as HIPAA and informed-consent rules. No formal regulations were adopted at the meeting; staff will continue monitoring federal and state developments and will proceed with building the jurisprudence webinar in coordination with volunteer committee members.","Committee members discussed artificial intelligence regulatory developments and potential federal limits; the board staff proposed an optional jurisprudence webinar (with a free CE hour) in lieu of a new mandatory jurisprudence exam and recruited volunteer reviewers to help draft webinar content.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6526309,"BSRB encourages CE Broker sign-up ahead of July CE requirement change",522,1939000,2461000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2&start=1939&end=2461","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2/thumbnail_1939000.jpg","/articles/6526309/Kansas/BSRB-encourages-CE-Broker-sign-up-ahead-of-July-CE-requirement-change","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526309-d8586192bbf3a197fb6c5987ac135e10/orig.mp4?Expires=1776178462&Signature=june8msHtfO4IOeyLTRzkmD8az7ZWhsdXJFyAoUn6-FU99f79jYNV4fTDlbHylLKOe1AMoBkIwBky-VJIEPrw2C0tZaISwltA7f4rEcIi49tsqsWQR9aAI7WaOOfvexVbYjE9zDHOXn8DAn70i7X3xoFPcr5TBAT8Btsbmh8cX20LClul0QrHfuWyDpVDF6sC1kfUiTGRwJEYrXPUhgDGjFfFlS9l6BddaIJcHx9L~nR~Wn7zj9EcZxpqGlF2E9UlKuvJ7BZe8McHCdaxIygb98O0SwcpUI9RNIgK0hb6quwV1CX36IJi8lmEc1sI90ax8LcPVO8VzcAgClv76jSKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board’s executive director told the Licensed Psychology Advisory Committee that the board’s partnership with CE Broker has been active for five to six months and that the vendor’s portal can speed audits of continuing education documentation.

David Fye, the board’s executive director, said the partnership is voluntary and free for licensees, and staff continue to encourage psychologists to activate CE Broker accounts and upload CE documentation. \"If they activate the account with CE Broker and upload their documentation and assign it in certain categories, if they're pulled for audit, we can log in to the portal, check their hours very quickly, and then approve them through the audit process very quickly,\" Fye said.

Fye and staff discussed practical signup guidance: licensees should enter their full license title (for example, \"LP\" plus the license number) and include leading zeros if applicable. The board said it will reissue signup links, add CE Broker links to individual profession pages on the BSRB website and continue outreach as account activation grows.

Fye also reminded the committee of a statutory change taking effect July 1, 2025: the number of continuing-education hours required in the category of diagnosis and treatment will decrease from six hours to three hours per renewal cycle. He said the legislature enacted the change earlier and the board will implement it beginning July 1; staff will post updated guidance on the board website and notify licensees.

Committee members asked staff to resend signup links and suggested placing the CE Broker link prominently on profession pages to improve uptake. No new board rule was adopted at the meeting; staff said they will continue outreach and evaluate account-activation rates.","The Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board reminded licensees about a partnership with CE Broker to streamline continuing education audits and alerted psychologists that, effective July 1, 2025, the statutory requirement for diagnosis-and-treatment continuing education will drop from six hours to three hours per renewal cycle.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6526312,"Kansas psychology advisory committee opens fact-finding on postdoctoral requirement",2231,3513000,5744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2&start=3513&end=5744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800507-6055a647829c5a62ebfd19e9bad65fd2/thumbnail_3513000.jpg","/articles/6526312/Kansas/Kansas-psychology-advisory-committee-opens-fact-finding-on-postdoctoral-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526312-6e03304517ac12eb253293231b5e4ac7/orig.mp4?Expires=1776178462&Signature=j3kdm87tzXnD7LfBWR~frskKIoECCuYdtWPjktm-tHFTyRYA9vHmyZfXCSal8qrA3McPOVv8dTWzfiycPEqaxPhDhUE281bWxinHSf9ejJr1IbBQpb5zDSJJiKlwO8J4bokj30FP2oyAki-xcadTObaFt96gklRFA9LxzgIOXurUhEVwUFeUoXmX~gqBDbqdMmm5ymPTS2xoX3O2HfYAnsIYoKB2yR3fiIxS0s324xooB0tCBG9cCbv7FCc3UhkaZStnnL0FSjI3xeuZ0PUsZ3KrOCioqQyUqrNyjWvwLxt4g1fCvjBiLqAQZzHNciUiH14NLzEY1Hwz5bwoS6Vu6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Licensed Psychology Advisory Committee discussed a proposal from the Kansas Psychological Association to allow additional predoctoral supervised hours to count toward Kansas’s two-year supervised experience requirement for licensure.

Executive Director David Fye summarized the origin of the proposal: a KPA representative asked the advisory committee to research whether the state should permit earlier accrual of supervised hours so some predoctoral (practicum) experience could count toward the supervised-experience requirement. Fye said the committee had previously discussed the topic and that the proposal did not seek elimination of the postdoctoral year but greater flexibility in how hours are counted.

Committee members expressed divergent views. Edward Hunter (Ned) and other members raised concerns that practicum and postdoctoral experiences are not equivalent developmentally and that allowing broader predoc credit could reduce the depth of supervised postdoctoral training. Hunter said the change “would be awfully hard on people in their postdoctoral experience if they can also meet the same requirement by getting it in a predoctoral way.” Several members urged additional information about whether states that allow predoc credit have higher licensure rates, whether complaint rates changed, and how other states define and audit practicum versus internship and postdoc hours.

Leslie Allen, the board’s assistant director and licensing manager, summarized outstanding technical questions: appropriate supervision-to-client-contact ratios, what practicum/internship elements should be required, whether a doctoral-year practicum should count if the candidate already holds a psychology master’s degree, and whether extra internship hours should be transferable toward the remaining supervised hours. She noted the advisory committee had not yet produced a comparative grid of other states’ rules and offered to prepare further materials if requested.

The committee agreed to collect specific questions and ask KPA to provide data and analysis. Chair Richard Nobles asked members to send questions to staff; staff will consolidate committee inquiries and forward them to KPA for response. No formal change to rules or regulations was made; staff and committee members will use the follow-up information to decide whether to prepare a formal recommendation to the board.","The committee discussed a request from the Kansas Psychological Association to increase flexibility in the postdoctoral-year requirement for licensure. Members raised concerns about training quality and public protection and agreed to gather specific questions and ask KPA for data to inform a potential recommendation to the board.","actionData","errors"]
