The bill amends Section 1354 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. It extends the sunset date for the Board from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2028, ensuring its continued operation under the Oklahoma Sunset Law. The bill also updates statutory language related to the composition and appointment of Board members, specifying that the Board will consist of seven members appointed by the Governor, including five psychologists and two laypersons.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for appointing successors for Board members who are psychologists, requiring the Governor to select from a list of ten licensed psychologists provided by the Oklahoma Psychological Association. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, but includes an emergency clause, allowing it to be enacted immediately upon passage and approval.
