An Act authorizing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists; providing for form of compact; and imposing additional powers and duties on the Governor, the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Compact.

HB 2002 would allow Pennsylvania to join the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists, a multi-state agreement designed to simplify licensing for school psychologists working across state lines. The bill directly affects school psychologists seeking employment in multiple states and requires Pennsylvania’s Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth to adopt the compact’s terms and implement its provisions. Key mechanisms include standardizing licensing requirements so that psychologists licensed in one compact state can practice in others without additional exams or paperwork. This would streamline mobility for professionals while maintaining consistent practice standards across participating states.
