The "Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact" is a legislative act designed to enhance the practice of audiology and speech-language pathology across state lines. It aims to improve public access to these services while preserving state regulatory authority for public health and safety. The compact facilitates mutual recognition of licenses among member states, promotes cooperation in regulation, supports military spouses, and incorporates telehealth technology. It establishes definitions related to the practice and outlines the requirements for states to join the compact, including the necessity for a valid home state license and adherence to state practice laws.

The bill also creates the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Compact Commission, which will oversee the regulation of practitioners, conduct joint investigations, and share licensure information among member states. It includes provisions for qualified immunity for commission members, mandates a coordinated data system for licensure information, and grants the commission rulemaking authority. Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for dispute resolution, compliance enforcement, and the amendment process for the compact. The compact will take effect once enacted by the tenth member state, with an implementation date set for July 1, 2025.
