Licensed professional counselor compact.
Wyoming's SF 10 creates an interstate compact allowing licensed professional counselors from participating states to practice across state lines without obtaining separate licenses in each state. The bill establishes mutual recognition of licenses, preserves Wyoming's authority to license counselors within its borders, and requires counselors to follow the practice laws of the state where the client is located during service. This directly affects licensed professional counselors seeking to work in multiple states, including those relocating for military reasons or providing telehealth services. The compact aims to improve public access to counseling services while maintaining state regulatory oversight for public safety.
