Act No. 112 (H.247). An act relating to Vermont’s adoption of the Occupational Therapy
Licensure Compact
Subjects: Professions and occupations; Office of Professional Regulation;
occupational therapists; Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact
This act adopts the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact in Vermont. The
Compact allows occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants who are
licensed in another state to practice in Vermont through the Compact’s “privilege to
practice” process if the occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant is
licensed in another Compact member state and pays the required fee. Participation in the
Compact also allows Vermont-licensed occupational therapists and occupational therapy
assistants to practice in other Compact member states through the “privilege to practice”
process. The act also authorizes the Office of Professional Regulation to conduct
background checks for occupational therapists and sets a $50.00 biennial “privilege to
practice” fee for occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants who are
already licensed in another Compact member state.
