FL H0033

Creates s. 490.0075, F.S., enacting the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, allowing licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology across state lines and provide temporary in-person, face-to-face psychological services in other compact states for up to 30 days per calendar year without obtaining a separate license in each state.

Establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission as a joint public agency with rulemaking, enforcement, and dispute resolution authority, funded by annual assessments from compact states; each member state appoints one voting commissioner.

Requires psychologists practicing under the compact to hold a graduate degree in psychology from an accredited institution, possess a current unrestricted license in their home state, have no disqualifying adverse actions or criminal history, and maintain an active E-Passport (for telepsychology) or Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (for temporary in-person practice).

Mandates compact states participate in a Coordinated Licensure Information System administered by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards, sharing licensure data, adverse actions, significant investigatory information, and application denials.

Amends multiple Florida statutes (ss. 456.073, 456.076, 490.004, 490.005, 490.006, 490.009, and 768.28, F.S.) to require the Board of Psychology to appoint a state commissioner, exempt compact practitioners from Florida licensure requirements, authorize disciplinary action under the compact, and designate commission members and employees as state agents for sovereign immunity purposes; effective July 1, 2023.
