Amended Senate Bill No. 276, introduced by Senator Roegner, seeks to ratify the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists, which aims to enhance the availability of school psychological services across member states by allowing qualified school psychologists to obtain equivalent licenses without facing duplicative requirements. The bill establishes definitions for key terms, outlines the requirements for states to join the compact, and details the obligations of school psychologists practicing under the compact. It also creates the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission, a joint agency responsible for overseeing the compact's implementation, sharing information regarding investigations and discipline, and maintaining regulatory oversight.

The bill includes provisions that grant immunity from civil liability to members, officers, and employees of the Commission for actions taken within the scope of their duties, while clarifying that this immunity does not cover professional malpractice. It outlines the Commission's authority for rulemaking, oversight, and dispute resolution, and establishes a framework for the withdrawal of member states from the compact, including a 180-day notice period. Additionally, the bill ensures that the existence of the Commission and the Compact is not affected by a member state's withdrawal or default, and it allows for amendments to the Compact, which must be enacted into law by all member states to take effect.
