S 682 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Enters New Jersey into Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact.

New Jersey's S 682 bill adopts the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, allowing licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists from member states to practice across state lines without obtaining separate licenses. The compact enables practitioners to serve patients in New Jersey (the "remote state") using their home state license, with care governed by the patient's location. Key provisions include mutual license recognition, enhanced sharing of disciplinary information between states, support for military families relocating, and integration of telehealth services. This preserves each state's authority to regulate practice while expanding access to these healthcare services for patients and professionals.
