Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would join Kentucky to a multistate agreement that allows licensed school psychologists to work across state lines more easily without having to get a separate license in each state. It sets rules for how Kentucky would participate, including protections and special provisions for active duty military members and their spouses. The goal is to make it easier for schools to access qualified school psychologists, particularly in areas where they may be hard to find. Who it may affect: school psychologists seeking to work in multiple states, Kentucky public schools, and military families who relocate across state lines.
