Agency Decision Summary

The Board considered the petition at its meeting on February 5, 2021 and decided it would not initiate rulemaking. An applicant from another state can qualify by meeting the education and experience requirements for licensure. In lieu of meeting those requirements, the Board allows an applicant to verify two years of post-licensure clinical practice as a minimum to demonstrate competency. The Board recently reviewed its regulations for endorsement and determined that the requirement for some period of clinical practice for those applicants who do not qualify by education and experience is necessary to protect the public health and safety
