Bill > SB107

This bill establishes the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists, a comprehensive agreement designed to facilitate the practice of school psychology across multiple states. The compact aims to address workforce shortages in school-based mental health services by creating a streamlined pathway for licensed school psychologists to obtain equivalent licenses in member states. Key provisions include establishing a Commission to oversee the compact, defining requirements for state and individual participation, and creating a mechanism for information sharing and license portability. School psychologists can obtain an equivalent license in a remote state by maintaining an active home state license, completing any state-specific requirements, undergoing a background check, and meeting continuing education requirements. The compact provides special provisions for active military members and their spouses, allows for disciplinary information sharing between states, and establishes a process for dispute resolution and enforcement. The compact will go into effect once seven states have enacted it, with the goal of increasing access to qualified school psychological services across participating states while maintaining high professional standards and protecting public safety.
