NC H1046

Establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) to allow psychologists licensed in one compact state to practice telepsychology across state lines and provide temporary in-person services for up to 30 days per calendar year in other compact states.

Creates the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission with voting representatives from each participating state to develop rules, maintain a coordinated licensure database, and oversee compliance with the compact.

Sets requirements for psychologists to practice under the compact, including holding a graduate psychology degree from an accredited institution, maintaining an active license in a home state, possessing current E.Passport (for telepsychology) or IPC (for temporary in-person practice) credentials, and meeting background check requirements.

Grants state psychology regulatory authorities power to investigate complaints, take adverse actions against practitioners, impose discipline, and report violations to the coordinated database; allows receiving/distant states to limit or revoke a psychologist's authority to practice.

Becomes effective once at least seven states enact the compact legislation, with the North Carolina Psychology Board required to notify the Revisor of Statutes when this threshold is reached.
