An Act establishing senior psychologist licensure

This bill proposes creating a new licensure category for senior psychologists in Massachusetts to assist older professionals whose original training records are no longer available. It directs the state licensing board to set specific rules by January 1, 2025, requiring applicants to have a valid doctoral degree, a history of licensure in other states, and a clean disciplinary record. The legislation allows the board to include standard requirements like a state law exam but prohibits rules that would place an unreasonable burden on these applicants. This change aims to enable experienced psychologists to continue practicing in the state despite missing documentation from their early education.
