Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
License issued by Board.
The license shall be issued to each applicant found to meet the requirements for licensure as a psychologist established by the Board. All licensees shall be required to practice only within their major program of doctoral study and supervised experience.
(b)
Status of licenses.
There shall be three types of status for licenses of psychologists:
(1)
Active license.
An active license is a license which has been issued or renewed by the Board for the current calendar year by payment of the appropriate fee. The renewal fee shall not exceed four hundred dollars ($400.00) each year and is due prior to January 1 of each year. The active status shall be the only status which is valid for the practice of psychology. It is the responsibility of each licensed psychologist to keep the Board informed of his/her current address.
(2)
Inactive license.
A license may be placed on inactive status by payment of a one-time fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). Licenses on inactive status shall not be valid for the practice of psychology; however, active status may be re-established upon payment of the current renewal fee, without penalty, if the board establishes that there are no known impediments to licensure [pursuant to 59 O.S. , Section 1370(A)] and there are no unresolved complaints on file with this Board or the Board of another state. Inquiries concerning the credentials of psychologists whose licenses are on inactive status shall be honored by the Board.
(3)
Invalid license.
(A)
Invalid license for nonpayment of renewal fee.
A license shall be on invalid status when the renewal fee or inactive fee has not been received by the Board by December 31 of the year the license was issued or last renewed. When this occurs, the license is invalid for the practice of psychology until it is again renewed. Payment of the current renewal fee, plus penalty, shall reinstate the license to active status if the Board establishes that there are no known impediments to licensure [pursuant to 59 O.S. , Section 1370(A)]. Inquiries to the Board concerning the credentials of psychologists whose licenses are invalid shall be answered with the statement that the licensee does not hold a valid license to practice in the state of Oklahoma.
(B)
Invalid license for noncompletion of continuing professional education requirement.
A license shall be on invalid status as of December 31 of the year the license was issued, or last renewed, if the psychologist has not completed the required twenty (20) hours of acceptable continuing professional education. When this occurs, the license is invalid for the practice of psychology until it is again renewed. Completion of 20 hours of acceptable continuing professional education, together with verification ruled acceptable to the Board, shall reinstate the license to active status if the Board establishes that there are no known impediments to licensure [pursuant to 59 O.S. , Section 1370(A)]. Inquiries to the Board concerning the credentials of psychologists whose licenses are invalid shall be answered with the statement that the licensee does not hold a valid license to practice in Oklahoma.
