The proposed legislation establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, designed to enhance the practice of psychology across state lines through telepsychology and temporary in-person services. This compact allows licensed psychologists to provide services using telecommunication technologies and to practice temporarily in another state for up to thirty days within a calendar year, contingent upon authorization from the appropriate regulatory authority. Key provisions include the requirement for psychologists to hold an active E.Passport and comply with the laws of both their home state and the receiving state, while also emphasizing public health and safety and increasing access to psychological services.

The bill also creates a commission to oversee the compact, which will have the authority to establish rules, issue subpoenas, and manage a coordinated licensure information system. The commission will consist of representatives from each compact state and will ensure confidentiality during investigations while promoting transparency. Additionally, the bill outlines the rulemaking process, oversight, dispute resolution, and enforcement mechanisms, allowing the commission to take legal action against states that fail to meet their obligations. The compact will take effect once enacted by seven states, with provisions for withdrawal and amendments to ensure adaptability while maintaining its core objectives.
