Bill > HB340

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 separate licenses in each state, thereby improving access to school psychological services. The compact establishes requirements for obtaining a multistate license, creates the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the agreement, and outlines procedures for states to join or withdraw from the compact. It defines key terms like "home state" (the state where a psychologist is primarily licensed), "remote state" (another member state where they wish to practice), and "equivalent license" (a license granted under the compact). The bill also details the powers and responsibilities of the Commission, including information sharing between states, dispute resolution, and enforcement mechanisms, and includes provisions for active military members and their spouses.
