A 2606 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

New Jersey would join the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, allowing licensed professionals from other participating states to practice in New Jersey without obtaining a separate state license. The bill enables mutual recognition of licenses across member states, supports telehealth services for remote patient care, and preserves each state's authority to regulate practice and protect public safety. It directly affects licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists seeking to work across state lines, with specific provisions to support military families relocating between states. The compact requires states to share licensing and disciplinary information to maintain oversight while expanding access to these services.
