This bill amends the Public Health Code by adding section 18223a, which introduces specific limitations on licenses granted to individuals under section 18223(2). Initially, for a period of 180 days following the effective date of the amendment, the board is required to impose one limitation on such licenses, mandating supervision by a psychologist who holds a full license. After this initial period, the same requirement for supervision applies to limited licenses, with exceptions for individuals working in governmental or nonprofit organizations, provided they are not diagnosing autism spectrum disorders or have held their limited license for at least three years if they are diagnosing such disorders.

Additionally, the enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of related Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. ____, indicating that the changes will only take effect if these bills are also enacted into law. This legislative move aims to ensure that individuals with limited licenses are adequately supervised, particularly in sensitive areas such as diagnosing autism spectrum disorders, while also allowing for flexibility in certain employment contexts.
