Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada joins a compact allowing eligible occupational therapists and assistants to practice across member states, including telehealth. A Compact Privilege gives the same legal status as a Nevada license, unless a statute or context requires otherwise. Regular state licenses… - Military therapists can keep home licenses: benefit, low. Active-duty service members and their spouses can choose a home state where they hold a current occupational therapy license in good standing. They can keep that home-state choice while the service member remains on active duty. This supports licensing continuity during military moves. - Therapists face interstate eligibility checks: cost, medium. Practitioners need a valid home-state license, no restrictions on any state license, and a valid Social Security or National Practitioner Identification number. They must notify the Commission, pay applicable fees, complete criminal checks, and meet the other state's legal-knowledge requirements. N… - Therapy Commission can charge operating fees: cost, low. The Commission can collect annual assessments from member states or charge other parties fees to fund its work. These payments, together with other revenue, must cover its approved annual budget. The Commission must set a rule for dividing state assessments. The law sets no dollar amounts and does… - Interstate therapy brings oversight and penalties: mixed, medium. To protect patients, practitioners must follow the state where they practice; the Compact overrides conflicting state law. Assistants need supervision by a therapist licensed or holding a Compact Privilege in that state. The home state controls discipline against its license, while other states can… - Moving therapists must update home licenses: mixed, low. Therapists and assistants moving their primary residence between member states must apply for a new home-state license. They must pay applicable fees and notify both states. The new state verifies eligibility and can require a background check and a test of state laws. Once the new license starts,… - States face therapy Compact enforcement: mixed, low. The Commission gives states written notice and training or technical help when they fail their Compact duties. After other compliance efforts fail, a majority vote can end membership; the state still owes obligations incurred through termination. At a member state's request, the Commission must try… - Therapy Commission gains powers and protections: mixed, low. Member states create a shared public Commission, with one delegate chosen by each state's licensing board. Its rules have the force of law within the Compact's purposes and powers. A rule loses effect in every member state if a majority of member-state legislatures rejects it within four years. Com… - Therapy records shared with privacy limits: mixed, low. The Commission must maintain shared licensing, discipline, and investigation records, and member states must submit required information. Investigative information is available only to member states; contributing states can mark records nonpublic and must remove records when their laws require expu… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Elaine H.
