MN HF3510

Establishes the Licensed Professional Counselor Interstate Compact to allow professional counselors licensed in one member state to practice in other member states under a "privilege to practice" without obtaining separate licenses.

Requires member states to license and regulate professional counselors, mandate passage of nationally recognized exams, require master's degrees with specific coursework in counseling topics, and implement criminal background checks for applicants.

Creates the Counseling Compact Commission as a joint public agency composed of one delegate from each member state to administer the compact, establish rules, maintain a coordinated data system of licensee information, and handle adverse actions and investigations.

Allows licensees with valid unencumbered licenses in their home state to exercise privileges to practice in remote states, including via telehealth, provided they meet continuing competence requirements and comply with remote state laws and regulations.

Becomes effective when enacted in the tenth member state and allows member states to withdraw with six months' notice; establishes enforcement mechanisms including dispute resolution, technical assistance for non-compliance, and potential termination of membership for defaulting states.
