The bill proposes that New Jersey join the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, which aims to improve access to audiology and speech-language pathology services across state lines while maintaining state regulatory authority. It allows licensed practitioners to practice in member states based on their home state license, provided it is active and unencumbered. The bill outlines requirements for practitioners, including educational qualifications and adherence to the laws of the state where services are provided. It also includes provisions for criminal background checks, handling adverse actions against licenses, and the rights of military personnel and their spouses regarding home state designation.

Additionally, the bill establishes the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Compact Commission to oversee the compact's administration and coordination among member states. The commission will have the authority to create bylaws, maintain financial records, and conduct joint investigations, while also developing a coordinated database for tracking licensure and adverse actions. The bill emphasizes transparency and public participation in the commission's rulemaking process and provides legal protections for commission members and staff. It also outlines procedures for dispute resolution, withdrawal from the compact, and amendments, ensuring the compact remains adaptable to the needs of its member states.
