The bill H.325, introduced by Representative Berbeco, seeks to establish the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact in Vermont, aimed at enhancing the availability of school psychological services across member states. The new legal language creates a subchapter in Vermont law that outlines the compact's purpose and provisions, which include streamlining the licensing process for school psychologists to practice in multiple states without redundant requirements. The bill mandates member states to enact a compact statute, share information, and maintain a list of equivalent licenses, while also addressing the licensing needs of active military members and their spouses.

Additionally, the bill establishes the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact's implementation and regulation. It details the Commission's formation, membership, and operational structure, including the appointment of delegates from each member state and the authority to set rules and manage finances. The bill also includes provisions for dispute resolution, enforcement mechanisms, and the ability for states to withdraw from the compact while ensuring that licenses remain recognized for a specified period. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing time for member states to prepare for its implementation.
