Requires applicants or licensees to inform the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation of any change of address within 14 days after the change. Authorizes the Department to prescribe forms to be issued for the administration and enforcement of the Act and to conduct investigations related to possible violations of the Act.

Provides that a person licensed in another state or jurisdiction of the United States or Canada, holds a doctoral degree in clinical, school, or counseling psychology, and has no disciplinary action taken against his or her license in any jurisdiction may be licensed at the Department's discretion. Provides that a person licensed in any foreign country or province whose standards were substantially equivalent on the date of his or her licensure in the other jurisdiction may be licensed at the recommendation of the Board. Includes the Department in certain disciplinary proceedings. Makes changes to provisions concerning investigations and hearings. Removes the requirement that the Board review reports from a hearing officer within 60 days. Makes changes to provisions concerning rehearings and final orders. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 3
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions of the bill as introduced with the following changes: In provisions amending the Clinical Psychologist Licensing Act: Adds diagnosis of mental, emotional, behavioral or nervous disorders or conditions, developmental disabilities, alcoholism and substance abuse, disorders of habit or conduct, and the psychological aspects of physical illness to the definition of "clinical psychology". Provides that no individual shall offer to render or render clinical psychological services (rather than offer or render clinical psychological services to individuals or to the public) without a license. Provides that no business organization (rather than just professional limited liability companies) shall provide, attempt to provide, or offer to provide clinical psychological services unless every member, shareholder, director, officer, holder of any other ownership interest, agent, and employee of the professional limited liability company who renders clinical psychological services holds a currently valid license under the Act. Makes changes to provisions concerning persons licensed in other jurisdictions. Provides that the endorsement process for individuals who are already licensed as medical or prescribing psychologists in another state is governed by provisions concerning endorsement and not provisions concerning persons licensed in other jurisdictions. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 4
In provisions amending the Clinical Psychologist Licensing Act, provides that only the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (rather than the Department or the Clinical Psychologists Licensing and Disciplinary Board) may determine that a person licensed as a clinical psychologist in another jurisdiction was licensed by a jurisdiction whose standards were substantially equivalent, at the date of his or her licensure in the other jurisdiction, to the requirements of the Act or to any person who, at the time of his or her licensure, possessed individual qualifications that were substantially equivalent to the requirements then in force in this State.
