Nebraska adopts the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, allowing school psychologists licensed in member states to obtain equivalent licenses to practice in other participating states without meeting duplicative requirements

Applicants must hold an unencumbered home state license, pass a qualifying national exam endorsed by the National Association of School Psychologists, complete at least 1,200 hours of supervised internship (600 minimum in a school setting), and graduate from a qualifying specialist-level or doctoral-level program

Creates the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency with authority to establish rules, collect fees, facilitate information sharing between states, and take disciplinary actions

Active military members and their spouses may designate their home state license based on permanent residence, primary state of practice, or location following a Permanent Change of Station

Compact takes effect when enacted by seven states, and member states may withdraw with 180 days notice after enacting a repealing statute
