Board notes: 50 hours per 2-year renewal, including 3 hours professional ethics and 6 hours diagnosis/treatment of mental disorders (K.A.R. 102-1-15). BSRB does NOT pre-approve CE programs for psychologists. NOTE (re-verified Aug 2026): the BSRB profession FAQ web page currently states only '3 hours of diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders,' which conflicts with the controlling administrative regulation text on file with the Kansas Secretary of State (six hours). The regulation controls; the FAQ figure appears to be an error.
