RELATING TO THE PSYCHOLOGY INTERJURISDICTIONAL COMPACT.

SB 2242 enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, authorizing the Governor to join this multi-state agreement. It directly affects licensed psychologists who wish to practice across state lines in participating jurisdictions. The key provision establishes standardized licensing rules and professional standards, allowing psychologists to provide services in other compact states without obtaining separate licenses. This reduces administrative barriers for practitioners and expands access to mental health services in participating states. The bill does not change existing state licensing laws but enables participation in the interstate compact.
