An Act amending the act of March 23, 1972 (P.L.136, No.52), known as the Professional Psychologists Practice Act, further providing for State Board of Psychology.
HB 1232 amends Pennsylvania's Professional Psychologists Practice Act to change the composition of the State Board of Psychology. The bill specifies that the board must include nine members: eight appointed by the Governor (with Senate approval), comprising two public representatives and six licensed psychologists representing diverse practice areas, plus the Commissioner of Professional and Occupational Affairs as the ninth member. This change clarifies the qualifications and appointment structure for board members. The amendment aims to ensure balanced representation from both the public and the psychology profession in regulating the field.
