OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY LICENSURE COMPACT
(Cite as: 26 V.S.A. § 3366)
-
§ 3366. Purpose
The purpose of this Compact is to facilitate interstate practice of Occupational Therapy
with the goal of improving public access to Occupational Therapy services. The practice
of occupational therapy occurs in the state where the patient/client is located at
the time of the patient/client encounter. The Compact preserves the regulatory authority
of states to protect public health and safety through the current system of state
licensure. This Compact is designed to achieve the following objectives:
(1) increase public access to Occupational Therapy services by providing for the mutual
recognition of other member state licenses;
(2) enhance the states’ ability to protect the public’s health and safety;
(3) encourage the cooperation of member states in regulating multistate Occupational Therapy
Practice;
(4) support spouses of relocating military members;
(5) enhance the exchange of licensure, investigative, and disciplinary information between
member states;
(6) allow a remote state to hold a provider of services with a compact privilege in that
state accountable to that state’s practice standards; and
(7) facilitate the use of telehealth technology in order to increase access to Occupational
Therapy services. (Added 2023, No. 112 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. July 1, 2025.)
