§ 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.)
