The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists adopts amendments to §463.14, concerning Written Examinations without changes to the proposed text as Published in the June 4, 2004 issue of the Texas Register (29 TexReg 5484).

The amendments are being adopted to correct a technical error which involves the conversion of a 55% passing score to a scaled score. The correct conversion of 55% passing score to a scaled score would make the scaled score 350. This amendment does not constitute any change in the passing score for licensed psychological associates on the national psychology examination.

The adopted amendments will make the rule easier for the licensees and public to follow and understand.

No comments were received regarding the adoption of the amendments.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, Title 3, Subtitle I, Chapter 501, which provides the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists with the authority to make all rules, not inconsistent with the Constitution and Laws of this State, which are reasonably necessary for the proper performance of its duties and regulations of proceedings before it.
