Bill > SF78

This bill adopts the psychology interjurisdictional compact, which aims to increase public access to professional psychological services by allowing for telepsychology practice across state lines as well as temporary in-person, face-to-face services in states where the psychologist is not licensed. The compact establishes a commission to administer the agreement and provides rules for licensing, disciplinary actions, information sharing, and dispute resolution among the compact states. The compact comes into effect when enacted into law by the seventh state and allows other states to join, while also providing a process for states to withdraw. The bill aims to facilitate the cross-state practice of psychology in a regulated manner to enhance public health and safety.
