Enacts the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact. (BDR 34-531)
SB 227 creates the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact, allowing school psychologists licensed in one participating state to obtain equivalent licenses in other member states without full re-licensing. It directly affects school psychologists seeking to work across state lines and requires member states to adopt standardized requirements, including passing a national exam, completing 1,200 supervised internship hours (600 in schools), and graduating from an approved program. The compact exempts license holders from state-specific exams, continuing education requirements, and certain application documentation for school psychologist roles. Nevada’s bill updates the definition of "school psychologist" to include compact-licensed professionals and establishes procedures for implementing the compact, though it currently requires ratification from seven states (only Colorado and West Virginia have joined).
