MI HB4169

Enacts the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, allowing occupational therapists and assistants licensed in one member state to practice in other member states through a "Compact Privilege" without separate licensure.

Establishes the Occupational Therapy Compact Commission with representatives from each member state to oversee interstate practice, maintain a data system of licensees, and promulgate uniform rules.

Requires member states to license occupational therapists and assistants, conduct criminal background checks, maintain continuing competence requirements, and report adverse actions to the Commission's data system.

Sets conditions for exercising Compact Privilege including holding a valid unencumbered license in home state, completing background checks, meeting jurisprudence requirements, and reporting any adverse actions within 30 days.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent upon House Bill No. 4170 of the 102nd Legislature also being enacted into law.
