Bill > H0393

This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to provide for the Interstate Counseling Compact. The key provisions of the bill include: This bill allows Idaho to participate in the Interstate Counseling Compact, which facilitates the interstate practice of licensed professional counselors across member states with the goal of improving public access to counseling services. The compact establishes uniform requirements for member state licensure, allows for the recognition of licenses from other member states, and enables the use of telehealth technology for interstate practice. It also creates an administrative commission to oversee the compact and outlines procedures for disciplinary actions, dispute resolution, and enforcement. The bill declares an emergency and states the act will take effect on July 1, 2024.
