Bill > HB6446

This bill enacts the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, which allows occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants licensed in one member state to practice in other member states. The compact aims to increase public access to occupational therapy services, enhance states' ability to protect public health and safety, encourage cooperation among states, support military spouses, and facilitate the use of telehealth. The bill also amends existing law to recognize individuals practicing under the compact as licensed occupational therapists or occupational therapy assistants in Michigan.
