What’s in it

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.
