Section 20 CSR 2235-1.025 - Application for Provisional Licensure

(1) Applications for provisional licensure must be made on the forms provided by the State Committee of Psychologists and accompanied by the appropriate fee.

(2) The committee may issue a provisional license to practice psychology to any applicant who meets all the following requirements:

(3) Unless sooner suspended, revoked, and/or terminated because of the issuance of a regular ongoing license, the provisional license shall, as provided in 337.020.5, RSMo, expire one (1) year from date of issuance unless timely renewed. A provisional license, absent extenuating circumstances and a showing of good cause, may only be renewed for a period of one (1) additional year so that the maximum period for a provisional license absent approval from the committee shall be only two (2) years.

(4) Applicants seeking a variance from the requirement of a maximum issuance of two (2) years due to vacations, illness, pregnancy, and other good causes shall submit the request in writing to the committee, which will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

(5) The provisional license shall only permit the licensee to provide psychological services in accordance with the "post-degree supervision plan" as submitted to the committee and only under and pursuant to the direct supervision and full professional responsibility and control of the primary supervisor and any secondary supervisors as identified in the post-degree supervision plan as filed with the committee.

(6) Absent death, sudden illness, or other extenuating circumstance on the part of the supervisor which precludes such supervisor from acting, any person who holds a provisional license who desires to amend the plan and/or to change supervisors, whether primary or secondary, must do so by filing at least twenty (20) days before said amended and/or revised plan is to take effect, a revised and/or amended plan together with information as to who is to be the new supervisor(s).

(7) Except as noted in section (6) hereof, the committee shall not accept, or recognize, as counting towards the required period of postdegree supervision, any time during which the provisional licensee may have been or was providing psychological services under the supervision of some person prior to the time the identity of such person had first been disclosed by the timely filing of a revised and/or amended plan of post-degree supervision.

(8) Any person acting under or providing psychological services pursuant to a provisional license shall at all times comply with provisions of 20 CSR 2235-2.040 or 20 CSR 2235-2.050 including, without limitation, the representation provisions set forth in subsection (1)(I) thereof.
