AI Summary
- Vermont would join the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, enabling licensed school psychologists to obtain equivalent licenses to practice in other member states without duplicative licensing requirements
- Applicants must hold an unencumbered home state license, pass a qualifying national exam endorsed by the National Association of School Psychologists, and complete at least 1,200 hours of supervised internship (600+ hours in a school setting)
- The compact establishes the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency with one delegate per member state, to administer the agreement and promulgate rules
- The compact becomes effective when seven states enact it; member states may withdraw with 180 days' notice after repealing the statute, and must continue recognizing compact licenses for at least six months after withdrawal
