Current Legislation

A bill was introduced in the Senate titled “Healthcare Compacts; Rural Health Program” (SB 281) which is similar to House bill “Healthcare Licensing Compacts” (HB352) that was mentioned in earlier emails. The psychology compact known as the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, or PSYPACT is now included in both bills. PSYPACT would allow qualified licensed psychologists to continue providing teletherapy to clients that moved to another PSYPACT state or are temporarily in another PSYPACT state for a period of time. Unfortunately, Licensed Psychological Associates are not currently able to participate in PSYPACT.
