Bill Summary
This bill creates an interstate compact to allow psychologists from other states to practice telepsychology with patients living in Iowa, to practice “face-to-face” psychology on a temporary basis in Iowa, and to allow Iowa psychologists to practice telepsychology with patients in other states. The compact is intended to authorize regulatory authorities to afford legal recognition, in a manner consistent with the terms of the compact, to psychologists licensed in another state. The compact does not apply when a psychologist is licensed in both the “home” and “receiving” states. A commission is created to oversee the compact, which is effective upon the enactment into law by the seventh compact state.
AI Summary
This bill enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, which allows licensed psychologists to practice in other participating states through telepsychology (providing services remotely via technology) and for temporary, in-person, face-to-face practice for up to thirty days per year. The compact aims to increase public access to psychological services, enhance public safety, and foster cooperation among states in regulating psychologists. It establishes a commission to oversee the compact, which will become effective once enacted by seven states. The bill also defines key terms like "home state" (where a psychologist is licensed) and "receiving state" (where the patient is located for telepsychology), and outlines procedures for licensure verification, complaint investigation, and disciplinary actions.
