AI Summary

  • Establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) to allow licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology services and temporary in-person services across state lines without obtaining a license in each state.

  • Creates the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission with representation from each member state to set rules, maintain a coordinated licensure database, and oversee compliance with the compact.

  • Permits psychologists licensed in a "Home State" to practice telepsychology in "Receiving States" and conduct temporary in-person practice for up to 30 days per calendar year in "Distant States" through special certification processes (E.Passport and Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate).

  • Authorizes each state's Psychology Regulatory Authority to investigate complaints, take disciplinary action, and share licensure and adverse action information through a coordinated database accessible to all member states.

  • Becomes effective once seven states have enacted the compact; allows states to withdraw with six months' notice, and requires all future amendments to be enacted by all member states to take effect.
