NOTICE OF PSYPACT PROPOSED RULEMAKING:
The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) Commission has published Proposed Rules for consideration and comment. The Proposed Rules can be found HERE.
The proposed rules are being considered to:
- Add a residency definition as specified in the PSYPACT Legislation (Article IV B 2 j and Article V B 2 j).
- Provide a better understanding of the grounds on which an authorization application can be denied, or a previously issued authorization can be revoked, by providing clear grounds for denying or revoking a PSYPACT authorization.
- Expand the appeals process to cover denials and revocations separately for clarity.
- Revise the numbering of the entire rule to align the new additions better.
These Proposed Rules are open for a 60-day public comment period for stakeholders interested in providing comments. Written comments may be submitted to the PSYPACT Commission via the PSYPACT website (https://psypact.gov/page/PublicComment). The deadline for submission of written comments is October 3, 2025.
