What’s in it

AI summary This agreement allows psychologists from other states to treat patients in Iowa through video calls or short in-person visits. It also makes it easier for Iowa psychologists to treat patients in other participating states using technology. A new group will be formed to manage these rules once enough states join the compact.1

Read the official explanation

This bill creates an interstate compact to allow psychologists from other states to practice telepsychology with patients living in Iowa, to practice “face-to-face” psychology on a temporary basis in Iowa, and to allow Iowa psychologists to practice telepsychology with patients in other states. The compact is intended to authorize regulatory authorities to afford legal recognition, in a manner consistent with the terms of the compact, to psychologists licensed in another state. The compact does not apply when a psychologist is licensed in both the “home” and “receiving” states. A commission is created to oversee the compact, which is effective upon the enactment into law by the seventh compact state.
