AI Summary
This bill enacts the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, which allows licensed school psychologists who meet specific criteria to practice in other member states without needing to obtain a separate license in each state. The Compact aims to improve access to school psychological services by creating a streamlined process for licensed professionals to move between states, while still ensuring that each state maintains its authority to protect public safety. It establishes requirements for states to join the Compact, including having a qualifying education program and passing a national exam, and creates a School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the agreement. The bill also outlines procedures for disciplinary actions, information sharing between states, and how states can withdraw from or amend the Compact.
