Bill Summary

This bill creates an interstate compact to allow psychologists from other states to practice telepsychology with patients living in Iowa, to practice “face-to-face” psychology on a temporary basis in Iowa, and to allow Iowa psychologists to practice telepsychology with patients in other states. The compact is intended to authorize regulatory authorities to afford legal recognition, in a manner consistent with the terms of the compact, to psychologists licensed in another state. The compact does not apply when a psychologist is licensed in both the “home” and “receiving” states. A commission is created to oversee the compact, which is effective upon the enactment into law by the seventh compact state.

AI Summary

This bill creates an interstate compact, called the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, that allows psychologists licensed in one state to practice telepsychology (providing psychological services via telecommunication technologies) with patients in other compact states and to practice in-person psychology on a temporary basis in other compact states. The compact establishes a commission to oversee its implementation and administration, with provisions for information-sharing, adverse actions against psychologists, and dispute resolution. The compact takes effect once it is enacted into law by seven states.
