An Act establishing the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact

This bill establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact in Massachusetts to allow licensed psychologists to practice across state lines under specific conditions. It authorizes the state to join an agreement that permits telepsychology services and temporary in-person visits of up to 30 days per year in other participating states. The compact creates a shared database for exchanging information about psychologist licenses and disciplinary actions while maintaining each state's authority to protect public safety. It does not apply to psychologists who are already licensed in both their home state and the state where they are providing services.
