Interstate compact for school psychologists adopted

A bill to add Nebraska to an interstate compact for school psychologists was given final approval April 10.

LB84, sponsored by Bellevue Sen. Victor Rountree, adopts the School Psychologist Interstate Licensure Compact. Under the compact, a licensed school psychologist who wishes to move into a member state may use their existing license as evidence that they are qualified to receive licensure in the member state.

The compact, which requires adoption by seven states, is not yet in effect.

LB84 passed on a 46-0 vote.
