AI Summary

  • Adds new protected titles for psychologists including "temporary limited licensed psychologist," "temporary limited licensed masters psychologist," "licensed masters psychologist," and associated abbreviations (t.l.l.p., t.l.l.m.p., l.m.p.).

  • Modifies Michigan Board of Psychology composition to require at least 2 members with doctoral degrees and at least 2 with master's degrees among the 5 psychologist members, with the fifth seat allocated based on proportional representation of each group.

  • Removes supervision requirements and advertising restrictions for individuals holding limited licenses under master's degree provisions, allowing them to practice independently.

  • Establishes that temporary limited licenses for master's level psychologists can be supervised by either a doctoral-level or master's-level psychologist with at least 3 years of experience, rather than requiring doctoral-level supervision only.
