Alaska SB172 establishes the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact to facilitate interstate practice of occupational therapy.

The Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, established by Alaska SB172, aims to improve public access to occupational therapy services by allowing licensed occupational therapists and assistants to practice across multiple states. Member states must license occupational therapists and assistants, participate in the Commission's data system, and implement the compact. The Commission, composed of delegates from member states, oversees the compact, enforces its provisions, and promulgates rules. The compact preserves state regulatory authority to protect public health and safety.
