AR SB91

Establishes the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact in Arkansas, allowing licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists to practice across member states under a "compact privilege"

Creates a national Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Compact Commission with representatives from member states to promulgate rules, maintain a data system of licensure and adverse actions, and oversee interstate practice

Requires applicants seeking compact privilege to hold an active, unencumbered license in their home state, pass criminal background checks, and meet educational and examination requirements established by the Commission

Allows remote states to take adverse action against practitioners' privileges and requires home states to complete investigations and report findings to other member states through a coordinated data system

Makes the compact effective when enacted by the 10th member state and allows member states to withdraw with six months' notice; requires Arkansas to delegate its authority to reject Commission rules to the General Assembly or Legislative Council
