The Board of Directors have made the following changes; section 1.8.3 of the Standards of Practice was amended regarding the reporting of evidentiary exam findings.  Finally, the Model Policy for the Evaluation of Examinee Suitability for Polygraph Testing was updated to reflect current language of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5).
