SB 701 - This act licenses prescribing psychologists and confers the authority to prescribe psychotropic medicine. Licensees shall not be allowed to order electrical convulsive therapy. As a prerequisite to licensure a licensee must: • Complete 300 hours of didactic educational instruction. • Complete a 1 year supervised fellowship with a full-time caseload of patients and provide medication management, psychological evaluations, and therapeutic services. • Pass a national exam. • Complete a 1 years practice supervised by a physician after receiving a license. • Maintain medical liability insurance. Licensees may prescribe under a collaborative practice agreement after the first year of licensure. This act is identical to HB 350 (2007). CHRIS HOGERTY
