Bill > S187

This bill establishes the Occupational Therapist Interstate Licensure Compact, which allows occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants to practice in other member states through a "compact privilege" if they hold a valid license in their home state. Key provisions include the requirements for states to participate in the compact, the process for obtaining a compact privilege, rules around adverse actions and disciplinary proceedings, the establishment of an Occupational Therapy Compact Commission to govern the compact, and procedures for data sharing and dispute resolution. The bill aims to facilitate the practice of occupational therapy across state lines and ensure patient access to services.
