NY A09406

Enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact into New York law, establishing a multi-state framework for licensing and regulating psychologists providing services across state boundaries.

Authorizes psychologists licensed in one Compact State to provide telepsychology services (via telecommunications) in other Compact States without obtaining a separate license in the Receiving State.

Permits psychologists to practice temporarily in-person for up to 30 days within a calendar year in another Compact State based on notification, provided they hold an active Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (IPC).

Creates the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission with representatives from all participating states to establish rules, maintain a coordinated licensure database, and enforce compliance with compact provisions.

Requires participating states to have mechanisms for investigating complaints, reporting adverse actions and disciplinary information, and conducting criminal background checks on psychologists seeking to practice under the compact.
