(1) Promulgate rules establishing the minimum number of
hours of continuing education, the topic areas that the continuing
education must cover, the criteria for the approval of continuing
education programs and courses required for renewal of a license,
and the criteria for the approval of the sponsors and cosponsors of

professional activities to meet continuing education
requirements.

accordance with the criteria established under sub. (1).
(5) Promulgate rules establishing the criteria for the substitution of uncompensated hours of professional assistance volunteered to the department of health services for some or all hours
of continuing education credits required under sub. (1). The eligible substitution hours shall involve professional evaluation of
community programs for the certification and recertification of
community mental health programs, as defined in s. 51.01 (3n),
by the department of health services.
(6) Grant a postponement of or waiver from the continuing

education requirements under this section on the basis of prolonged illness or disability or on other grounds constituting extreme hardship. The examining board shall consider each application individually on its merits, and the examining board may
grant a postponement, partial waiver, or total waiver of the requirement as the examining board deems appropriate.
(7) Grant an exemption from the continuing education requirements under this section to a psychologist who certifies to
the examining board that he or she has permanently retired from

an exemption under this subsection may not return to active practice without submitting evidence satisfactory to the examining
board of having completed the required continuing education
credits within the 2-year period prior to the return to the practice
of psychology.
