Bill > HB3339

This bill establishes Oregon's participation in the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), a multi-state agreement designed to facilitate psychological practice across state lines. The compact allows licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology services and conduct temporary in-person practice in participating states without obtaining additional licenses. Key provisions include creating an authority to practice telepsychology, which enables psychologists to provide services remotely to clients in other compact states, and a temporary authorization for face-to-face psychological services for up to 30 days per calendar year in a distant state. The bill establishes a comprehensive framework for licensing, including definitions, requirements for participation, and mechanisms for information sharing and disciplinary actions. It creates a Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission to oversee the implementation and administration of the compact, with provisions for dispute resolution, enforcement, and interstate cooperation. The bill also establishes a dedicated Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Account within the Oregon Board of Psychology Account to manage financial obligations, with a cap of $50,000. The provisions will become operative on January 1, 2027, giving the Oregon Board of Psychology time to prepare for implementation and develop necessary rules and procedures.
