HB 6017 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Education: all other employees; school psychologist licensure compact; enact. Creates new act.

This bill establishes an interstate agreement allowing school psychologists to practice in multiple states with a single license, aiming to improve access to mental health services in schools. Under the new rules, qualified professionals from one member state can obtain equivalent licensure in other states without facing redundant requirements, while still adhering to local safety and scope-of-practice laws. The legislation also creates a governing commission to oversee the program and includes specific provisions to support military members and their spouses who relocate frequently. By streamlining the licensing process, the bill seeks to address workforce shortages and ensure that students receive services from appropriately qualified experts across state lines.
