§ 3013 - Conduct of examinations - Vermont Statutes

§ 3013. Conduct of examinations

(a) The board shall conduct examinations under this chapter at least twice a year at a time and place designated by it; provided, however, that examinations need not be conducted at times when there are no applicants requesting to be examined. Examinations may be written, computer-administered, computer-adapted or oral as determined by the board. In any written examination each applicant shall be designated by a number so that his name is not disclosed to the board until the examinations have been graded. Examinations shall include questions in such theoretical and applied fields as the board deems most suitable to test an applicant's knowledge and competence to engage in the practice of psychology. An applicant shall be held to have passed an examination upon the affirmative vote of at least four members of the board.

(b) Examinations administered by the board and its procedures of administration shall be fair and reasonable and shall be designed and implemented to ensure that all applicants are admitted to practice if they demonstrate that they possess the minimal occupational qualifications which are consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. They shall not be designed or implemented for the purpose of limiting the number of licensees.

(c) If a licensee has a principal place of business, a license shall be prominently displayed at that place. (Added 1975, No. 228 (Adj. Sess.), § 2; amended 1981, No. 241 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; 1999, No. 133 (Adj. Sess.), § 22.)
