House Bill 1015 amends the Occupations Code to continue the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists until September 1, 2017. In addition to including across-the-board sunset provisions, the bill modifies the board's oral examination requirements and examination evaluation procedures and requires the presence of a public member in certain informal disciplinary settlement proceedings. It amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to add the board to the list of health professional entities required to participate in quarterly criminal history checks for its members that are conducted by the Department of Public Safety. It also abolishes the Psychological Associate Advisory Committee.
