Enters NJ into School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact.
This bill allows New Jersey to join the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, enabling licensed school psychologists from participating states to practice in New Jersey without repeating licensing exams or paperwork. It directly affects school psychologists seeking to work across state lines and schools facing staffing shortages by creating a streamlined pathway for license portability. Key provisions include requiring psychologists to follow each state's scope of practice laws, preserving states' authority to protect public safety through their own licensing standards, and facilitating mobility for military-connected families. The compact aims to improve access to school psychological services by reducing administrative barriers for qualified professionals.
