SB276
Ratify the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists
Summary
The bill ratifies the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists, allowing licensed school psychologists to practice across member states without redundant licensing requirements. It establishes a framework for cooperation among states to ensure the availability of qualified professionals and mandates compliance with local laws. The compact also facilitates the relocation of military members and their spouses who are licensed school psychologists.
Rationale
The bill promotes professional mobility and reduces regulatory burdens, aligning with some Libertarian principles of free markets and individual rights. However, it also involves government regulation of professional licensing, which may conflict with the Libertarian emphasis on minimal government intervention.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government oversight in professional licensing
- May lead to standardization that undermines local control
