Bill Summary
TELEHEALTH ACCESS ACT -- Adds to existing law to provide for mental and behavioral health care.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to allow mental and behavioral health providers who are licensed in other states to provide telehealth services to Idaho residents, even if they are not licensed in Idaho. The bill sets forth several requirements for these out-of-state providers, including holding a valid license in another state, not having any pending disciplinary actions, and complying with Idaho laws and regulations. The bill also establishes a registration process for these providers and gives Idaho licensing authorities the ability to take disciplinary action against them if they fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations. The bill specifies that this registration is not equivalent to full licensure in Idaho and does not allow the providers to offer in-person services in the state. The bill declares an emergency and will take effect on July 1, 2023.
