A bill for an act enacting the psychology interjurisdictional compact.

HF 255 enacts Iowa's participation in the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, allowing licensed psychologists from other participating states to provide temporary in-person services (up to 30 days per year) or telepsychology services to Iowa patients without needing an Iowa license. It directly affects psychologists seeking to practice across state lines and Iowa patients needing access to out-of-state psychological services. Key provisions include mutual recognition of licenses, a coordinated system for sharing disciplinary information between states, and temporary practice certificates ("IPC") for in-person visits or telepsychology. The compact does not apply to permanent practice or psychologists already licensed in both states, while maintaining each state's authority to protect public safety through its own licensing standards.
