The bill H.325, introduced by Representative Berbeco, seeks to have Vermont join the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, which is designed to enhance the availability of school psychological services across participating states. The proposed legislation establishes a new subchapter in Vermont law that outlines the compact's purpose and provisions, including the requirement for member states to adopt a compact statute, share information, and maintain a list of equivalent licenses. It also details the criteria for school psychologists to obtain and maintain licenses in remote states, which includes passing a national exam and completing a supervised internship.

Additionally, the bill creates the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact's implementation and regulation. The Commission will consist of one delegate from each member state, selected by the state's licensing authority, and will have the authority to set rules, conduct meetings, and manage financial records. The bill also includes provisions for dispute resolution, enforcement, and the severability of its provisions, ensuring that if any part is found unconstitutional, the rest remains valid. The compact will take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing time for member states to prepare for its implementation.
