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 July 5, 2002, issue of the Texas Register (27 TexReg 5941).

The amendments are being adopted in order to set a passing rate on the Jurisprudence Examination that is appropriate to application for licensure as a psychological associate.

The adopted rule will make the rules 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.
