SB 689 - This act modifies provisions relating to continuing education for professional licensees. PROHIBITED USES OF OCCUPATIONAL FEES Under this act, no board, commission, or committee within the Division of Professional Registration shall utilize occupational fees, or any other fees associated with licensing requirements, or the purpose of offering continuing education classes. Any board, commission, or committee within the Division shall not contract or partner with any outside vendor or agency for such purpose. (Section 324.035) PSYCHOLOGIST CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS Current law requires each licensed psychologist applying for a renewal of a license to submit proof of the completion of at least 40 hours of continuing education credit within the two-year period immediately preceding the date of the application for renewal. Under this act, a minimum of three of the 40 hours of continuing education shall be dedicated to professional ethics. (Section 337.050) This act is substantially similar to HB 705 (2019).
