This bill would make Kentucky part of a multistate agreement that allows school psychologists licensed in one member state to more easily work in other member states without going through a full separate licensing process. It sets up rules for how Kentucky and other participating states would share information, handle disciplinary actions, and manage the agreement together. Special provisions are included for school psychologists who are active duty military members or their spouses. Who it may affect: school psychologists, K-12 students and schools seeking psychological services, and military families with a school psychologist in the household.
