Section 12.60.035. Courtesy license.

	(a)  A courtesy license authorizes the licensee to practice psychology for no more than 30 days in a 12-month period. An applicant will only be issued one courtesy license in that person's lifetime. A courtesy licensee shall submit a report to the board each month during the period of courtesy licensure indicating the number of days practiced under the courtesy license during the month. A courtesy license does not authorize the licensee to conduct a general psychology practice or to perform services outside the scope of practice of psychology that is specified on the courtesy license.  
	(b)  The board or its designee will issue a one-time courtesy license to an applicant who meets the requirements of this section.  
	(c)  An applicant for a courtesy license must  
		(1) submit a completed courtesy license application on a form provided by the department, postmarked no later than 30 days before the date that the applicant is to practice psychology in the state; a completed courtesy license application must include all of the fees and supporting documentation required in this subsection;  
		(2) pay the application and licensing fees for a courtesy license established in 12 AAC 02.330;  
		(3) not be a resident of this state;  
		(4) provide verification of a current license to practice psychology in another jurisdiction for the scope of practice specified in the application; to meet the requirements of this paragraph, the verification must be sent directly to the department from the licensing jurisdiction and the license must be active, in good standing, and cover the scope of the practice requested for the courtesy license in this state;  
		(5) provide verification of having passed the EPPP examination, with a score that meets the requirements in 12 AAC 60.140, unless the applicant was initially licensed in a licensing jurisdiction before that licensing jurisdiction required an applicant to sit and pass the EPPP examination; the verification must be sent directly to the department from the  
			(A) jurisdiction where the applicant passed the EPPP examination; or  
			(B) Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB);  
		(6) identify the dates for which the courtesy license is requested;  
		(7) identify the scope of practice intended for the courtesy license;  
		(8) attest that the applicant has not  
			(A) previously been issued a courtesy license under this section;  
			(B) had a psychologist license suspended or revoked in any jurisdiction; and  
			(C) been denied a license to practice psychology in this state within the past four years.  
	(d)  The holder of a courtesy license must meet the ethics and standards identified in 12 AAC 60.185 and is subject to the discipline under AS 08.01.075 and AS 08.86.204.  
	(e)  The board or its designee may waive the 30-day application deadline in (c) of this section if the board or its designee finds that the applicant has shown reasonable cause or excusable neglect.
