NASP Response to 2009 APA Model Act Revisions
NASP Members, Colleagues, and Families: Thank you for taking
the time to learn about issues associated with the proposed Model Act for State Licensure of
Psychologists (MLA) by the American Psychological Association (APA).
The following resources address NASP’s position on changes
being proposed by the APA to its March 6, 2009, Model Act for State Licensure
of Psychologists. The model act is APA’s recommended prototype language for
state licensing boards to use in developing regulations and legislation for
licensing psychologists.
