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 2107 would authorize Pennsylvania to join the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists, an existing agreement among states to simplify licensing for school psychologists who wish to work across state lines. The compact would allow school psychologists licensed in one participating state to obtain an equivalent license in another without repeating lengthy application processes, while still requiring them to follow the practice laws of the state where they work. This aims to address school staffing shortages by making it easier for licensed psychologists to relocate, particularly benefiting military families and schools facing workforce gaps. The bill also specifies that Pennsylvania's Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth must take steps to join the compact and implement its requirements.
