Bill > SB2225

This bill adopts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, a legal agreement between states to regulate the practice of psychology across state lines. It specifically addresses two main areas: telepsychology, which is the provision of psychological services through telecommunication technologies, and temporary in-person practice, allowing psychologists to practice face-to-face in another state for up to 30 days per year. The compact aims to increase access to psychological services, protect public safety, and facilitate cooperation between states in licensing and regulating psychologists. It establishes a commission to oversee the compact and requires the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to create rules for its implementation.
