Why this matters
Limited licensed psychologists (master’s-level practitioners who work under supervision) are a significant portion of Michigan’s mental health workforce, so changes to their licensure pathway affect both access to care and job prospects for people entering the field. Altering the Board of Psychology’s membership also shifts who sets professional standards and discipline for the profession. The bill has cleared one chamber and awaits further action.
