<u>Rule Summary</u>: Senate Bill 230 (SB 230) passed during the 2015 Regular Session and amended ORS 676.410. This added a requirement that certain healthcare workforce regulatory boards, including the Board of Psychologist Examiners, collaborate with the
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and adopt rules that will require renewing licensees to provide specified information and pay a fee established by OHA. This proposed rule amendment implements SB 230 by requiring that licensed psychologists and psychologist
associates, in order to complete their biennial license renewal, must pay the fee established by OHA and complete the healthcare workforce data survey. This requirement will begin with renewals due in July of 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
