Vermont § 3028 - Adverse actions

§ 3028. Adverse actions

• (a) A Home State shall have the power to impose adverse action against a psychologist’s
  license issued by the Home State. A Distant State shall have the power to take adverse
  action on a psychologist’s Temporary Authorization to Practice within that Distant
  State. (b) A Receiving State may take adverse action on a psychologist’s Authority to Practice
  Interjurisdictional Telepsychology within that Receiving State. A Home State may take
  adverse action against a psychologist based on an adverse action taken by a Distant
  State regarding temporary in-person, face-to-face practice. (c) If a Home State takes adverse action against a psychologist’s license, that psychologist’s
  Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology is terminated and the E.Passport
  is revoked. Furthermore, that psychologist’s Temporary Authorization to Practice is
  terminated and the IPC is revoked. (1) All Home State disciplinary orders that impose adverse action shall be reported to
  the Commission in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Commission. A Compact
  state shall report adverse actions in accordance with the rules of the Commission. (2) In the event discipline is reported on a psychologist, the psychologist will not be
  eligible for telepsychology or temporary in-person, face-to-face practice in accordance
  with the rules of the Commission. (3) Other actions may be imposed as determined by the rules promulgated by the Commission. (d) A Home State’s Psychology Regulatory Authority shall investigate and take appropriate
  action with respect to reported inappropriate conduct engaged in by a licensee that
  occurred in a Receiving State as it would if such conduct had occurred by a licensee
  within the Home State. In such cases, the Home State’s law shall control in determining
  any adverse action against a psychologist’s license. (e) A Distant State’s psychology regulatory authority shall investigate and take appropriate
  action with respect to reported inappropriate conduct engaged in by a psychologist
  practicing under the Temporary Authorization to Practice that occurred in that Distant
  State as it would if such conduct had occurred by a licensee within the Home State.
  In such cases, the Distant State’s law shall control in determining any adverse action
  against a psychologist’s Temporary Authorization to Practice. (f) Nothing in this Compact shall override a Compact state’s decision that a psychologist’s
  participation in an alternative program may be used in lieu of adverse action and
  that such participation shall remain nonpublic if required by the Compact state’s
  law. Compact states must require psychologists who enter any alternative programs
  to not provide telepsychology services under the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional
  Telepsychology or provide temporary psychological services under the Temporary Authorization
  to Practice in any other Compact state during the term of the alternative program. (g) No other judicial or administrative remedies shall be available to a psychologist
  in the event a Compact state imposes an adverse action pursuant to subsection (c)
  of this section. (Added 2023, No. 37, § 1, eff. July 1, 2024.)
