The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 18223a, which establishes specific limitations on licenses granted to individuals under section 18223(2). Initially, for a period of 180 days after the bill's effective date, the board is required to impose a limitation on such licenses that mandates supervision by a psychologist with a full license. After this period, the same requirement applies, but there are exceptions for individuals working in governmental or nonprofit organizations. Specifically, these exceptions apply if the individual is not diagnosing autism spectrum disorders or has held the limited license for at least three years when diagnosing such conditions.

Additionally, the enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 104 from the 103rd Legislature. This ensures that the new regulations regarding the supervision of limited license holders are aligned with broader legislative changes.
