Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) Employers of psychiatric technicians shall report, in writing, to the Board the rejection from assignment, suspension, termination, or resignation for cause (as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 4521.2(d)) of any psychiatric technician in its employ. The resignation for cause provision only applies to a psychiatric technician's resignation submitted in lieu of receiving a rejection from assignment, suspension, or termination for cause (as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 4521.2 (d)). An employment agency or nursing registry shall report to the Board the rejection from assignment of a psychiatric technician by a health facility or home health care provider due to acts that would be cause for suspension or termination (as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 4521.2 (d)). The report shall be made within 30 calendar days from the effective date of the suspension, termination, or resignation for cause, or, where a licensee was rejected from assignment, within 30 calendar days from the date the health facility or home health care provider first notified the employment agency or nursing registry of the rejection. Failure to make a report to the Board as required by this section shall constitute a violation of Business and Professions Code Section 4521.2.

(b) For purposes of this section, "employer" also includes employment agencies and nursing registries.
