Summary

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of marriage and family therapists, licensed educational psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed professional clinical counselors by the Board of Behavioral Sciences. Existing law requires applicants for licensure and licensees under those acts to pay specified fees for licensure, license renewal, and examinations, and requires licensees who renew their license after allowing it to expire to pay delinquency fees. Existing law requires the board to establish the required fees at or below the maximum amounts specified under the act. This bill would revise and recast the fees described above. The bill would establish new minimum fee amounts, and would authorize the board to adopt regulations to set the fees at a higher amount up to the prescribed maximum. The bill would require the delinquency fee to be 12 of the fee for license renewal. Existing law requires marriage and family therapists, licensed educational psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed professional clinical counselors to comply with specified continuing education requirements, and requires the board to fund the administration of those continuing education requirements through continuing education provider fees. This bill would remove the requirement that the board fund the administration of continuing education requirements through continuing education provider fees.
