Adverse actions against psychologists

Official statutory text

A. A home state shall have the power to impose adverse action

against a psychologist's license issued by the home state. A

distant state shall have the power to take adverse action on a

psychologist's temporary authorization to practice within that

distant state.

B. A receiving state may take adverse action on a

psychologist's authority to practice interjurisdictional

telepsychology within that receiving state. A home state may take

adverse action against a psychologist based on an adverse action

taken by a distant state regarding temporary in-person, face-to-face

practice.

C. If a home state takes adverse action against a

psychologist's license, that psychologist's authority to practice

interjurisdictional telepsychology is terminated and the E-Passport

is revoked. Furthermore, that psychologist's temporary

authorization to practice is terminated and the interjurisdictional

practice certificate (IPC) is revoked.

1. All home state disciplinary orders which impose adverse

action shall be reported to the Commission in accordance with the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations Page 1098

rules promulgated by the Commission. A compact state shall report

adverse actions in accordance with the rules of the Commission.

2. In the event discipline is reported on a psychologist, the

psychologist will not be eligible for telepsychology or temporary

in-person, face-to-face practice in accordance with the rules of the

Commission.

3. Other actions may be imposed as determined by the rules

promulgated by the Commission.

D. A home state's psychology regulatory authority shall

investigate and take appropriate action with respect to reported

inappropriate conduct engaged in by a licensee which occurred in a

receiving state as it would if such conduct had occurred by a

licensee within the home state. In such cases, the home state's law

shall control in determining any adverse action against a

psychologist's license.

E. A distant state's psychology regulatory authority shall

investigate and take appropriate action with respect to reported

inappropriate conduct engaged in by a psychologist practicing under

the temporary authorization to practice which occurred in that

distant state as it would if such conduct had occurred by a licensee

within the home state. In such cases, the distant state's law shall

control in determining any adverse action against a psychologist's

temporary authorization to practice.

F. Nothing in this Compact shall override a compact state's

decision that a psychologist's participation in an alternative

program may be used in lieu of adverse action and that such

participation shall remain nonpublic if required by the compact

state's law. Compact states must require psychologists who enter

any alternative programs to not provide telepsychology services

under the authority to practice interjurisdictional telepsychology

or provide temporary psychological services under the temporary

authorization to practice in any other compact state during the term

of the alternative program.

G. No other judicial or administrative remedies shall be

available to a psychologist in the event a compact state imposes an

adverse action pursuant to subsection C of this section.
