Board finalizes telehealth reference document and postpones stakeholder meeting to 2026
Summary
The committee approved a finalized telehealth barriers reference document for posting and postponed a planned stakeholder meeting to the second licensure committee meeting in 2026 to allow staff preparation and because both boards are undergoing a sunset review.
The committee approved a final reference document summarizing follow-up actions from a telehealth barriers survey and agreed to postpone a planned stakeholder meeting until 2026 so staff can prepare and because the board is undergoing sunset review.
Staff (Stephanie Chung) said the finalized reference document will be posted on the board website under licensee practice guidelines and that the document appears at page 45 of the meeting packet. Chung said the committee’s follow-up recommendations are reflected in the posted product and thanked publication staff for design assistance.
Committee members supported postponement. Chung explained the stakeholder meeting had been scheduled for July but was postponed to a later licensure committee meeting in 2026 because the Board of Psychology and the Board of Behavioral Sciences are undergoing sunset review; the additional lead time will give staff the time needed to prepare a meaningful stakeholder session.
No public commenters spoke on the item during the open-session public comment period, and no formal action beyond posting the reference document was recorded.
Staff will post the reference document on the website under practice guidance and return to the committee with stakeholder planning in 2026.
