Summary
At a brief meeting the board approved minutes from Dec. 8 with minor wording corrections, was notified that the American Psychological Association has opened a public comment period on proposed uniform licensure language for psychologists, and discussed a possible special meeting to act on the Rosenthal decision.
The board approved minutes from its Dec. 8 meeting with minor wording corrections and noted a national proposal on psychologist licensure that members were encouraged to review.
Board Member Sorrentino moved to approve the minutes, saying the draft should consistently use the word 'seconded' where appropriate and remove duplicate honorifics; Sorrentino recorded the motion and also voiced the second. The board voted by voice; at least two 'Aye' responses were recorded and no opposition was heard, and the chair declared the motion carried.
An unidentified board member informed the group that the American Psychological Association has posted proposed uniform licensure language for psychologists and opened it for public comment. The speaker described the proposal as non-binding and asked members to note the comment period for review.
Members exchanged brief New Year greetings before moving to adjourn. An unidentified speaker said there might be a special, noticed meeting before June to adopt the Rosenthal decision while it remains under review; the speaker characterized such a meeting as likely to be brief if scheduled.
The board adjourned and indicated it will next meet in June unless a special meeting is called.
