a. Recommendation to approve Dr. Odland to sit for the EPPP if confirmation of
Dr. Stewart’s licensure is received – friendly amendment to sit for the ORAL

4. Recommendation Board clarify Limited Practice Certificate and requirements for
Telepractice as noted: Telepractice versus Limited Practice Certificate
a. NDCC 43-51-05 permits the in person limited practice of psychology/ABA based on a
license in good standing in another jurisdiction. The LPC is NOT a license from/in
ND, it is recognition that the practitioner is licensed in good standing elsewhere and
entering ND to provide limited services. This ensures the protection of the public in
ND.
b. NDCC 43-51-03 permits remote practice to individuals in ND provided the
telepractitioner began the professional relationship in person in the jurisdiction
where they are licensed. Jurisdiction of this practice is based on the development of
a professional relationship in another jurisdiction and the extension of services via
remote means upon the patient’s return to ND. This ensures the protection of the
public in ND, by extending jurisdiction of our Board to providers licensed elsewhere
who have established a care relationship as defined by this law.
c. Discussion regarding SKYPE and cell phones being non-HIPAA compliant
technologies and inappropriate for the provision of psychological care services.
