ASSEMBLY BILL 157 -	Authorizes hospital to admit licensed psychologists to its 
staff.

After nearly two hours of testimony the subcommittee voted to recommend 
indefinite postponement of A.B. 157.  There were too many unresolved issues 
connected with the bill including hospital regulations, training, costs and whether 
this should apply only to psychological hospitals.  Chairman Goldwater suggested 
the psychologists return next Session with a bill that addresses those concerns 
clearly and concisely.  He did not feel comfortable recommending A.B. 157 even 
with amendments, but committed to helping with a similar, workable measure next 
Session.


 
    
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
