Establishes the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact to allow occupational therapists and assistants licensed in one member state to practice in other member states through a "compact privilege."

Creates the Occupational Therapy Compact Commission composed of delegates from member states to oversee implementation, promulgate rules, maintain a data system for licensee information, and coordinate interstate regulation.

Requires member states to conduct criminal background checks for compact privilege applicants, participate in a coordinated database, investigate complaints, and report adverse actions to the commission.

Defines home states as primary states of residence and allows active duty military personnel and spouses to maintain their home state designation despite relocation, with special provisions for those who change primary residence between member states.

Establishes that occupational therapy practice occurs in the state where the patient is located and that remote states retain authority to take adverse action against practitioners but the home state has exclusive power over the home license.
