The bill establishes interstate licensure compacts for school psychologists, dieticians, cosmetologists, and physician assistants, aimed at facilitating the practice of these professions across state lines. Each compact is designed to improve access to services by allowing licensed professionals to practice in member states without facing duplicative licensing requirements, thereby addressing workforce shortages and ensuring qualified service provision. The bill outlines the responsibilities of member states, including compliance with the compact's provisions, sharing information, and maintaining a coordinated database for licensure data. It also establishes a commission to oversee the implementation and administration of the compacts, with authority to create rules, manage finances, and enforce compliance among member states.

Key provisions include the establishment of a compact commission for each profession, which will oversee the administration of the compact, conduct investigations, and manage financial operations. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining state regulatory authority while providing a framework for cooperation among states. It includes provisions for qualified immunity for commission members, procedures for oversight and dispute resolution, and mechanisms for member states to withdraw from the compact while ensuring continued compliance with reporting obligations. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the licensure process, enhance public access to professional services, and support military families by facilitating the licensing process for active duty personnel and their spouses.
