this Act the supervision must be performed | 5 | | pursuant to the order, control
and full professional | 6 | | responsibility of a licensed clinical psychologist.
The | 7 | | clients shall be the clients of the agency or supervisor rather | 8 | | than
the supervisee. Supervised experience in which the | 9 | | supervisor receives
monetary payment or other consideration | 10 | | from the supervisee or in which the
supervisor is hired by or | 11 | | otherwise employed by the supervisee shall not be
accepted by | 12 | | the Department as fulfilling the practicum, internship or 2
| 13 | | years of satisfactory supervised experience requirements for | 14 | | licensure.
| 15 | | Examinations for applicants under this Act shall be held at | 16 | | the direction
of the Department from time to time but not less | 17 | | than once each year. The
scope and form of the examination | 18 | | shall be determined by the Department.
| 19 | | Each applicant for a license who possesses the necessary | 20 | | qualifications
therefor shall be examined by the Department, | 21 | | and shall pay to the
Department, or its designated testing | 22 | | service, the required examination
fee, which fee shall not be | 23 | | refunded by the Department.
| 24 | | Applicants have 3 years from the date of application to | 25 | | complete the
application process. If the process has not been | 26 | | completed in 3 years, the
application shall be denied, the fee |

reapply and meet the | 2 | | requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.
| 3 | | An applicant has one year from the date of notification of
| 4 | | successful completion of the examination to apply to the | 5 | | Department for a
license. If an applicant fails to apply within | 6 | | one year, the applicant shall
be required to take and pass the | 7 | | examination again unless licensed in
another jurisdiction of | 8 | | the United States within one year of passing the
examination.
