§ 3034. Date of implementation of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission and associated rules, withdrawal, and amendments
(a) The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the Compact is enacted into law in the seventh Compact state. The provisions that become effective at that time shall be limited to the powers granted to the Commission relating to assembly and the promulgation of rules. Thereafter, the Commission shall meet and exercise rulemaking powers necessary to the implementation and administration of the Compact.
(b) Any state that joins the Compact subsequent to the Commission’s initial adoption of the rules shall be subject to the rules as they exist on the date on which the Compact becomes law in that state. Any rule that has been previously adopted by the Commission shall have the full force and effect of law on the day the Compact becomes law in that state.
(c) Any Compact state may withdraw from this Compact by enacting a statute repealing the same.
(1) A Compact state’s withdrawal shall not take effect until six months after enactment of the repealing statute.
(2) Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the withdrawing state’s psychology regulatory authority to comply with the investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of this act prior to the effective date of withdrawal.
(d) Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed to invalidate or prevent any psychology licensure agreement or other cooperative arrangement between a Compact state and a non-Compact state that does not conflict with the provisions of this Compact.
(e) This Compact may be amended by the Compact states. No amendment to this Compact shall become effective and binding upon any Compact state until it is enacted into the law of all Compact states. (Added 2023, No. 37, § 1, eff. July 1, 2024.)
