AI Summary

  • Enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, allowing Iowa to join with other member states for mutual recognition of psychology licenses across state boundaries.

  • Authorizes licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology (psychological services via telecommunication technologies) across state lines within compact member states.

  • Permits temporary in-person, face-to-face psychological practice in other compact states for up to 30 days within a calendar year without obtaining a separate license in that state.

  • Establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission to govern the compact, facilitate information exchange between states regarding licensure and disciplinary actions, and develop bylaws and rules.

  • Does not apply to permanent in-person practice or when a psychologist is already licensed in both the home and receiving states; maintains each state's authority to protect public health and safety through their own licensing regulations.
