Any person applying for a license, registration, or the first
renewal of a license, after the effective date of this section, as a
licensed marriage and family therapist, a licensed clinical social
worker or as a licensed psychologist shall, in addition to any other
requirements, show by evidence satisfactory to the agency regulating
the business or profession, that he or she has completed training in
human sexuality as a condition of licensure. The training shall be
creditable toward continuing education requirements as deemed
appropriate by the agency regulating the business or profession, and
the course shall not exceed more than 50 contact hours.
   The Board of Psychology shall exempt any persons whose field of
practice is such that they are not likely to have use for this
training.
   "Human sexuality" as used in this section means the study of a
human being as a sexual being and how he or she functions with
respect thereto.
   The content and length of the training shall be determined by the
administrative agency regulating the business or profession and the
agency shall proceed immediately upon the effective date of this
section to determine what training, and the quality of staff to
provide the training, is available and shall report its determination
to the Legislature on or before July 1, 1977.
   In the event that any licensing board or agency proposes to
establish a training program in human sexuality, the board or agency
shall first consult with other licensing boards or agencies which
have established or propose to establish a training program in human
sexuality to ensure that the programs are compatible in scope and
content.
