The bill establishes the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact in Alabama by adding Article 6, commencing with Section 34-26-100, to Chapter 26 of Title 34 of the Code of Alabama 1975. This compact aims to streamline the practice of school psychology across member states, allowing school psychologists to obtain equivalent licenses without facing duplicative requirements. Key provisions include the requirement for applicants to hold an active home state license, pass a national exam, complete a supervised internship, and graduate from an accredited program. The bill emphasizes the authority of each member state to regulate school psychology practice while ensuring compliance with local laws.

Additionally, the bill outlines the governance structure of the compact through the formation of the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the administration and enforcement of the compact's provisions. The commission is granted rulemaking authority, financial oversight, and the ability to share disciplinary information among member states. It also includes provisions for the financing of the commission, qualified immunity for its members, and procedures for addressing defaults by member states. The compact is designed to enhance the availability of psychological services in educational settings while maintaining transparency and accountability in its operations. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
