Regulatory authority
Official statutory text
A. In addition to any other powers granted under state law, a
compact state's psychology regulatory authority shall have the
authority under this Compact to:
1. Issue subpoenas, for both hearings and investigations, which
require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production
of evidence. Subpoenas issued by a compact state's psychology
regulatory authority for the attendance and testimony of witnesses
and/or the production of evidence from another compact state shall
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations Page 1099
be enforced in the latter state by any court of competent
jurisdiction, according to that court's practice and procedure in
considering subpoenas issued in its own proceedings. The issuing
state psychology regulatory authority shall pay any witness fees,
travel expenses, mileage and other fees required by the service
statutes of the state where the witnesses or evidence is located;
and
2. Issue cease and desist and/or injunctive relief orders to
revoke a psychologist's authority to practice interjurisdictional
telepsychology and/or temporary authorization to practice.
B. During the course of any investigation, a psychologist may
not change his or her home state licensure. A home state psychology
regulatory authority is authorized to complete any pending
investigations of a psychologist and to take any actions appropriate
under its law. The home state psychology regulatory authority shall
promptly report the conclusions of such investigations to the
Commission. Once an investigation has been completed, and pending
the outcome of said investigation, the psychologist may change his
or her home state licensure. The Commission shall promptly notify
the new home state of any such decisions as provided in the rules of
the Commission. All information provided to the Commission or
distributed by compact states pursuant to the psychologist shall be
confidential, filed under seal and used for investigatory or
disciplinary matters. The Commission may create additional rules
for mandated or discretionary sharing of information by compact
states.
