An Act relative to the occupational therapist interstate licensure compact

This bill amends Massachusetts law to join the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, a national agreement that allows licensed occupational therapists and assistants to practice across state lines with a single license. Under the new rules, a professional's primary home state becomes their "home state," while they can practice in other member states as "remote states" without needing separate licenses for each location. The legislation establishes a national commission to oversee the compact and creates a shared data system to track licenses and disciplinary actions among participating states. It also defines key terms such as adverse actions, encumbered licenses, and continuing competence requirements to ensure consistent standards across the compact.
