Pennsylvania HB482 authorizes the Commonwealth to join the Interstate Compact for Occupational Therapy Licensure. The Compact aims to improve public access to occupational therapy services by allowing licensed therapists to practice across participating states. It establishes a Commission to oversee the Compact, including rulemaking and dispute resolution. Member states must submit data on licensed therapists, including adverse actions and investigative information. The Compact preserves each state's regulatory authority and allows for joint investigations.
