The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists adopts amendments to §463.27, Temporary License for Person Licensed in Other States, with changes to the proposed text as published in the December 16, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 8388).

The amendments are being adopted to adhere to the changes made by the 79th Texas Legislature to the section of the Psychologists' Licensing Act regarding licensure as a psychologist.

The adopted amendments will set requirements for an individual licensed in another state to obtain a limited temporary license in Texas.

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.
