An act relating to the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact

This bill enacts Vermont's adoption of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, a national agreement that allows licensed psychologists to provide services across state lines under specific conditions. The legislation primarily affects psychologists licensed in Vermont and other participating states by establishing rules for telepsychology practice and temporary in-person practice lasting up to 30 days per calendar year. Key provisions create a system for sharing licensure and disciplinary information between states, authorize psychologists to practice in other compact states without obtaining additional licenses, and establish a commission to oversee implementation and compliance. The bill aims to increase access to psychological services while maintaining public safety through standardized regulations and mutual recognition of licenses among participating states.
