     148.916 Guest licensure. 


    Subdivision 1.    Generally.  If a nonresident of the 
 state of Minnesota, who is not seeking licensure in this state, 
 and who has been issued a license, certificate, or registration 
 by another jurisdiction to practice psychology at the doctoral 
 level, wishes to practice in Minnesota for more than seven 
 calendar days, the person shall apply to the board for guest 
 licensure, provided that the psychologist's practice in 
 Minnesota is limited to no more than 30 days per calendar year.  
 Application under this section shall be made no less than 30 
 days prior to the expected date of practice in Minnesota and 
 shall be subject to approval by the board or its designee.  The 
 board shall charge a nonrefundable fee for guest licensure.  The 
 board shall adopt rules to implement this section. 


    Subd. 2.    Psychological consultations.  
 Notwithstanding subdivision 1, a nonresident of the state of 
 Minnesota, who is not seeking licensure in this state, may serve 
 as an expert witness, organizational consultant, presenter, or 
 educator without obtaining guest licensure, provided the person 
 is appropriately trained, educated, or has been issued a 
 license, certificate, or registration by another jurisdiction. 


    Subd. 3.    Disaster or emergency relief workers.  The 
 requirements of subdivision 1 do not apply to psychologists sent 
 to this state for the sole purpose of responding to a disaster 
 or emergency relief effort of this state government, the federal 
 government, the American Red Cross, or other disaster or 
 emergency relief organization as long as the psychologist is not 
 practicing in Minnesota for longer than 30 days and the American 
 Red Cross, disaster or emergency relief organization, or 
 government can certify the psychologist's assignment in this 
 state.  The board or its designee, at its discretion, may grant 
 an extension to the 30-day time limitation of this subdivision. 


    Subd. 4.    Prohibitions and sanctions.  A person's 
 privilege to practice under this section is subject to the 
 prohibitions and sanctions for unprofessional or unethical 
 conduct contained in Minnesota laws and rules.
