Bill > SF1445

This bill establishes an interstate compact for professional counselors with the goal of improving public access to professional counseling services. The compact facilitates mutual recognition of licenses among member states, enhances states' ability to protect public health and safety, encourages cooperation among states in regulating multistate practice, supports military spouses, and allows for the use of telehealth technology. The compact creates the Counseling Compact Commission to administer the compact, including promulgating rules, investigating disciplinary matters, and providing a mechanism for dispute resolution. The compact takes effect when ten states have enacted it into law, and any state may withdraw from the compact after a six-month notice period.

Health and Social Services, Justice
