Pennsylvania joins the Interstate Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact to facilitate interstate practice.
The Interstate Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact Act authorizes Pennsylvania to join the compact, enabling occupational therapists and assistants to practice across state lines. The compact aims to improve public access to occupational therapy services while preserving state regulatory authority. It establishes a Commission to oversee the compact, including rulemaking, data system maintenance, and dispute resolution. Member states must share licensure and investigative information, and the compact allows for the mutual recognition of licenses.
