Interim Study was the right decision three months ago and ITL is the right decision for SB 343 now. Nothing has changed that would justify passing the same bill today that we decided to Interim Study in January. During the public hearing, we heard the same arguments that were made for HB 476 a year ago. The testimony included outdated facts from 2009 and earlier. In past years there were problems with the board of mental health practices (BMHP), which regulates psychologists and four related disciplines. Previous boards were chastised by the Judiciary, JLCAR, this House and the Senate, and by the Governor and Council. At this time, the repair of these problems is well underway. Improvements made over the last year include: the entire board has been replaced and is now under the leadership of a respected judge. In addition to personnel changes, there are structural improvements through both legislation and rulemaking. The legitimate concerns of the psychologists have been addressed by recently passed HB 1508, which created greater privacy rights, enhanced due process, and curtailed frivolous complaints. At the direction of the board, the attorneys' orientation has changed from reflexive prosecution to thoughtful correction. The purpose of the Interim Study recommendation remains the same. If the improvements underway are insufficient or ineffective, then we have HB 476 ready to introduce and support. During the hearing of SB 343, we heard nothing mentioned about improving public health and safety. We should avoid adding yet another board when there is no demonstrated need at this time. The House has given its word to give the new BMHP a year to improve and for us to monitor progress.
