MN SF2656

Creates an interstate compact allowing audiologists and speech-language pathologists licensed in one member state to practice in other member states under a "privilege to practice" without obtaining separate licenses in each state.

Establishes the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Compact Commission as a joint public agency to oversee implementation, with each member state sending two delegates (one audiologist, one speech-language pathologist) plus five additional delegates.

Requires practitioners to maintain an active, unencumbered license in their home state and meet educational requirements including degree credentials, clinical practicum experience, national examinations, and criminal background checks.

Creates a coordinated data system to track licensure, adverse actions, and investigations across member states, with home states having primary authority to discipline practitioners and remote states able to remove practice privileges for violations.

Compact becomes effective when enacted by the tenth member state; member states may withdraw with six months' notice but must continue reporting investigations and adverse actions through the effective withdrawal date.
