An act relating to Vermont’s adoption of the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact

This bill would allow Vermont to join the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, enabling licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists to practice in other member states without needing separate licenses for each location. The compact facilitates this by recognizing licenses from other participating states while maintaining each state's authority to regulate practice and protect public health. It specifically supports military families by allowing providers to practice in states where their spouses are stationed and enables telehealth services across state lines. The legislation also establishes a system for sharing information about disciplinary actions and investigations between member states to ensure consistent oversight.
