2006 Alabama Code - Section 34-26-45 — Waiver of examination; persons licensed in other states.

For a period of two years from October 1, 1963, the board may waive either or both an assembled examination or the other requirements of Section 34-26-41 if it deems such action to be in the public interest and may grant the appropriate license upon payment of the required fee to any person who is qualified by experience to practice psychology and who has engaged in such practice of a nature satisfactory to the board for at least three years full time or its equivalent, within three years prior to October 1, 1963. At its discretion the board may at any time waive the assembled examination and grant the appropriate license upon payment of the required fee to any person who meets the requirements of Section 34-26-41 and who is qualified by educational and professional attainments to the satisfaction of the board if it deems such action to be in the public interest. The board may also at its discretion grant a certificate without an assembled examination to any person residing or employed in the state who at the time of the application is licensed or certified by a similar board of another state whose standards, in the opinion of the board, are not lower than those required by this chapter, or who has been practicing psychology in another state and has qualifications not lower than those required by this chapter, and is able to satisfy the board that to grant him a license would be in the public interest, or who has been certified by the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology.
