24.189.602    EXEMPTIONS

(1) To be exempt from licensure under 37-17-104(1)(b), MCA, "within the confines of the agency or institution" means that the person is providing activities and services limited to the purposes and used only within the confines of the organization. For example, a person may not perform activities and services that, at the time they are performed, include evaluations, assessments, or other activities and services that would produce a report or other record that is intended or anticipated to be admitted into a court proceeding to determine the person's competency or fitness in relation to the person's rights or privileges outside the organization.

(2) For the limited services described in 37-17-104(1)(d), MCA, to be exempt as "consulting" services, including but not limited to services provided via electronic means on behalf of clients located within the state of Montana, the person claiming the exemption must not be a resident of Montana, must be licensed to provide the services in another state or Canadian province, and provide all such activities and services either:

(a) in association with, at the direction of, or upon the recommendation of a licensed Montana psychologist who bears primary responsibility for those activities and services; or

(b) in fulfilling a strictly forensic role as an expert witness and not as a treating psychologist.

(3) To be exempt under 37-17-104(1)(e), MCA, one must have submitted a completed application to the board within 12 months of becoming a Montana resident. Whether someone is a resident of Montana is a question determined by considering all relevant facts, including but not limited to the location of the person's primary domicile, whether the person has a Montana driver's license, and whether the person is registered to vote or has voted in Montana.

(4) "Qualified" members of other professions under 37-17-104(1)(a) and (2), MCA, for purposes of administering tests and making evaluations or assessments means only those individuals who are licensed by:

(a) the Board of Medical Examiners or the Board of Nursing and whose scope of practice specific to their license includes the administering of psychological tests and the making of evaluations or assessments; or

(b) the Board of Social Work Examiners and Professional Counselors as Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors and who meet the qualifications set by that board in compliance with 37-17-104, MCA.
