MI HB4509

Enacts the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, allowing audiologists and speech-language pathologists licensed in their home state to practice in other member states without obtaining additional licenses

Establishes the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Compact Commission to administer the compact, develop rules, maintain a coordinated data system for licensure and disciplinary information, and enforce compliance among member states

Requires practitioners seeking compact privileges to hold an active, unencumbered license, have no adverse actions within the previous 2 years, pass criminal background checks, and meet educational and examination requirements set by the Commission

Allows remote states to take disciplinary action against a practitioner's compact privilege while only the home state can take action against the actual license; adverse actions in the home state automatically deactivate compact privileges in all member states

Takes effect 1 year after enactment, with the compact becoming operative when 10 states have adopted it
