BSRB reappoints advisory committee members, approves routine minutes and adjourns
Summary
The board approved the meeting agenda and March 10 minutes, reappointed multiple advisory committee members across professions, agreed to a CRC chair process for disciplinary reconsideration requests, and adjourned; no controversial votes were recorded.
At the May 12 meeting the Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board completed routine governance actions and several administrative decisions.
The board approved the published meeting agenda and later approved the minutes from the March 10 board meeting by voice votes. Chair Dave Anderson read and recorded reappointments to advisory committees across professions: addiction counseling (Lisa Carter, Chad Jacobs, Mike James, Charity Cosen, Zenova Williams); behavior analysis (Lisonbee Bell, Kelly Harrison, Emily Kessler, Pamela Neidert, Stephanie Wiley, Alice Young); marriage and family therapy (Heidi Bello); master's‑level psychology (Rebecca Jabara, Ruth Johnson, Lauren Luck, Robert Pedroza, Jennifer Schreiner); licensed psychology (Mark Goodman, Matthew Golker, Jessica Hamilton, Edward Hunter, Tiffany Johnson, Jenny Middleton); and social work (Mary Gill, Eric Geniger). The reappointments were entered into the record.
On disciplinary procedure, staff proposed and the board agreed to a process allowing the complaint review committee (CRC) chair — or a designated CRC member — to review reconsideration requests for disciplinary orders first, with authority to refer the matter to the full CRC if needed. Legal counsel noted timing constraints on reconsideration requests and the large evidentiary files that can accompany disciplinary matters; the streamlined approach was adopted for operational clarity.
The board acknowledged an item on expedited application review that was tabled for a future meeting and adjourned following a motion, second and voice vote.
