     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                     STATEMENT TO

                        [First Reprint]
                 ASSEMBLY, No. 543

 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                       DATED: JULY 23, 2020

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill
No. 543 (1R).
    This bill updates the training requirements for psychologists.
Current law states that two years of professional employment is
required of an applicant to qualify for licensure from the State Board
of Psychological Examiners (the “board”). Under the bill, the term
“employment” is changed to “experience” to account for professional
opportunities that may not have entailed employment.
    Current law also requires at least one year of the professional
employment to be completed after receiving a doctoral degree. As
amended, the bill provides that for individuals applying for licensure
after October 1, 2020, or six months after the effective date of the bill,
whichever is sooner, the required two years of full time professional
experience, or any portion thereof, may be completed prior to
receiving the requisite doctoral degree.
    The bill also provides that an applicant who has applied to the
board but is not yet licensed by the effective date of the bill may
update the application for licensure with professional experience
earned prior to the applicant receiving a doctoral degree.
