STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29839 / H0780
Service extenders provide essential psychology services to patients under the supervision of licensed Idaho
psychologists. The current authorizing language that the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners has relied
upon to permit service extenders for close to thirty years has recently been determined to be insufficient. This
legislation grants to the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners the ability to permit service extenders.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund because the legislation would not require any new regulatory
responsibilities or actions by the state. Costs would continue to be covered by permit fees paid by the applicants.
