What happens when the Board receives the psychologists response?
Once the licensee’s response to the allegation is received and reviewed by the Board’s investigator, the complaint (RFI) will be provided to the Complaint Screening Committee (CSC) members for review, discussion, and recommendation. This initial review of the complaint (RFI) will be held during a public meeting to which the complainant or their representative and licensee or their representative will be able to address the CSC members with a brief statement. CSC members may ask questions; however there is generally no other interaction with CSC members at this time. Please be aware, this is NOT a hearing. The objective of this CSC is to review the complaint and to make a determination to either dismiss the complaint if there are no statute or rule violations; refer to the complaint to the full Board for review at the next Board meeting; or request additional information from either the complainant or licensee and review the complaint again at the next CSC meeting.
