Pennsylvania joins the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact to facilitate practice across state lines.

The bill authorizes Pennsylvania to join the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, enabling licensed professionals to practice across state lines. The Compact allows audiologists and speech-language pathologists to hold a license in their home state and practice in other member states. It establishes a Commission to oversee the Compact, manage a data system for sharing licensure and adverse action information, and promulgate rules. The Compact aims to improve public access to services while maintaining state regulatory authority.
