Board approves updated ASPPB bylaws and authorizes executive officer vote at annual meeting
Summary
The board reviewed proposed updates to the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards bylaws and directed its executive officer to vote for the changes at ASPPB’s virtual business meeting.
The California Board of Psychology reviewed a proposed update to the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) bylaws and voted Aug. 22 to support the updated governance document and to authorize the executive officer to cast California’s vote at the organization’s virtual annual business meeting.
Staff described the principal revisions as organizational and procedural — such as clearer committee authority, a policy adoption section, dissolution procedures and minor membership/dues clarifications — and highlighted that most changes are not substantive changes to examination policy. The board’s legislative analyst noted the draft removes an explicit 501(c)(6) antitrust‑related reference that had been present in prior bylaws.
The board adopted a motion authorizing the executive officer to vote to approve the updated ASPPB bylaws at ASPPB’s virtual business meeting. No change to California law or the board’s regulations was made by this action; the vote affects only California’s recorded position at ASPPB’s member‑governed meeting.
