Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as introduced with the following changes: Amends the Clinical Psychologist Licensing Act. Replaces "Department of Professional Regulation" with "Department of Financial and Professional Regulation" and "Director of the Department of Professional Regulation" with "Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation" throughout the Act. Requires licensees to prominently display the license at the licensee's principal office, place of business, or place of employment and to exhibit the license whenever requested by any representative of the Department. Provides that a licensee may renew the license during the 90-day period (now, month) immediately preceding the expiration date of the license. Provides that the Department may impose fines not to exceed $10,000 (now, $5,000) for each violation of the Act. Provides that the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any crime that is a felony under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or that is a misdemeanor of which an essential element is dishonesty, or any crime that is directly related to the practice of the profession constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Provides that failing to report to the Department any adverse judgment, settlement, or award arising from a liability claim related to an act or conduct similar to an act or conduct that would constitute grounds for disciplinary action and failing to report to the Department any adverse final action taken against a licensee or applicant by another licensing jurisdiction or any peer review body, health care institution, professional society or association related to the profession, governmental agency, law enforcement agency, or court for an act or conduct similar to an act or conduct that would constitute grounds for disciplinary action constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Provides that any unlicensed person who practices, offers to practice, attempts to practice, or holds himself or herself out to practice clinical psychology shall pay a civil penalty to the Department in an amount not to exceed $10,000 (now, $5,000) for each offense. Effective immediately.
