(a) Each
					individual who wishes to be licensed as a master's level psychologist or a
					clinical psychotherapist based on reciprocity, as provided by  L. 2003, Ch. 129,  Sec. 1   and amendments thereto, shall submit an application for licensure in
					accordance with the provisions of this regulation.
(b) Each applicant for licensure as a
					master's level psychologist shall request the application forms for licensure
					by reciprocity from the board. Each applicant shall ensure that the application
					materials are submitted to the board as follows:
(1) The applicant shall submit the completed
					application form and shall submit payment in full of the application for a
					license fee, as provided in K.A.R. 102-4-2.
(2) The applicant shall forward to the
					licensing agency for the jurisdiction in which the applicant is currently
					licensed, certified, or registered as a master's level psychologist a form
					provided by the board on which the licensing agency is to provide the following
					documentation:
(A) Verification that the
					applicant currently holds a valid license, registration, or certification to
					practice psychology at the master's level issued by the licensing agency;
(B) the date on which the
					applicant was initially licensed, registered, or certified as a master's level
					psychologist by the licensing agency and a complete history of each subsequent
					renewal, reinstatement, and lapse in licensure, registration, or certification.
					If an applicant is seeking licensure based on reciprocity under the provisions
					of paragraph (a)(2) of  L. 2003, Ch. 129,  Sec. 1   and amendments thereto, the
					applicant shall ensure that documentation covering the five continuous years of
					licensure, registration, or certification as a master's level psychologist that
					immediately precede the date of the application is submitted to the board by
					the licensing agency for each jurisdiction in which the applicant was licensed,
					registered, or certified during that five-year period;
(C) a complete history of any disciplinary
					action of a serious nature brought by the licensing agency against the
					applicant. For purposes of this regulation, "disciplinary action of a serious
					nature" means the revocation or suspension of a license, registration, or
					certification issued by the licensing board or the voluntary surrender of a
					license, registration, or certification in lieu of the completion of an
					investigation or final disciplinary action; and
(D) either verification that the standards
					for licensure, certification, or registration as a master's level psychologist
					in that jurisdiction are substantially equivalent to the standards in Kansas or
					verification that the applicant has earned a master's degree in psychology, the
					date on which the applicant earned the degree, and the name of the university
					or college granting the degree.
The completed form shall be returned to the board by the
						licensing agency and shall not be forwarded to the applicant.
(3) If the applicant is seeking
					licensure based on reciprocity under the provisions of paragraph (a)(2) of L.
					2003, Ch. 129, Sec. 1, and amendments thereto, rather than on the basis that
					the standards for licensure, registration, or certification are substantially
					equivalent to the standards for licensure as a master's level psychologist in
					Kansas, the applicant shall ensure that following additional documentation is
					submitted:
(A) An attestation by the
					applicant that the applicant engaged in the professional practice of psychology
					at the master's level an average of at least 15 hours per week for nine months
					during each of the five years immediately preceding the date of application for
					licensure based on reciprocity; and
(B) if the licensing agency does not provide
					verification that the applicant holds a master's degree in psychology, an
					original transcript sent directly from the university or college granting the
					degree that identifies all applicable graduate coursework and the date on which
					the applicant was granted a master's degree in psychology.
