  3. G. Golem was designated to attend the ASPPB’s conference in Atlanta, Georgia on October 20-23 and report back to the Council. S. Adams was named as alternate.
  4. It was agreed that the MRA requirement would apply for all applicants who applied as of July 1, 2004 and that anyone not meeting these requirements would not be eligible for full-practicing licensure. However, the MRA requirement for Foundational Knowledge will be considered separately from the qualifying degree for the purpose of provisional licensure. Those granted a provisional license with an accepted degree will have a two year window for meeting the Foundational Knowledge requirement for MRA in addition to their degree.
