The bill HB214 Engrossed proposes the establishment of 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 facilitate the interstate practice of school psychology, allowing school psychologists to obtain equivalent licenses in member states without facing duplicative requirements. Key provisions include definitions of relevant terms, requirements for states to join the compact, and the establishment of the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact's administration, compliance, and financial operations. The bill introduces new legal language to create this framework but does not indicate any deletions from current law.

Additionally, the bill outlines the governance structure of the commission, including the formation of an executive committee and provisions for financing through assessments and fees. It emphasizes the protection of state action immunity concerning antitrust claims and establishes a framework for the exchange of licensee information among member states while retaining control over such information. The bill also details judicial enforcement mechanisms, withdrawal processes, and the effective date of the compact, which is set for October 1, 2025. Overall, HB214 Engrossed seeks to enhance cooperation among states in providing school psychological services while ensuring the protection of state sovereignty and licensee information.
