IL SB1391

Illinois enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), allowing licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology across state lines and provide temporary in-person services in other compact states for up to 30 days per calendar year.

Establishes requirements for psychologists to practice under the compact, including holding a graduate psychology degree from an accredited institution, maintaining an active license in a home state, obtaining an E.Passport for telepsychology or Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (IPC) for temporary practice, and having no adverse disciplinary history.

Creates the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission as a joint public agency with one voting representative from each participating state to promulgate rules, maintain a coordinated licensure database, and enforce compact provisions.

Authorizes state psychology regulatory authorities to investigate violations, issue subpoenas across state lines, and take adverse actions against psychologists; requires reporting of disciplinary actions and significant investigatory information to the commission's coordinated database.

Compact becomes effective when enacted in seven states; allows states to withdraw with six months' notice and may be amended only if all compact states enact the amendment.
