Bill > SB238

This bill enacts the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, which allows licensed school psychologists who meet specific requirements to practice in other member states without needing to obtain a separate license in each state, thereby improving access to school psychological services. The compact establishes a School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission to oversee its implementation, sets requirements for obtaining an "equivalent license" (a license recognized by other member states), and outlines procedures for member states to join and withdraw from the compact. It also defines key terms like "home state" (the state where a psychologist is primarily licensed) and "remote state" (another member state where they practice under the compact), and includes provisions for information sharing between states regarding disciplinary actions and other relevant licensee data, while preserving each state's authority to regulate the practice of school psychology within its borders.
