Notices
- 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.
- We have a new Third Party Authorization for licensure applicants, which may be found here! This is for applicants to authorize individuals or companies to contact IDFPR on your behalf regarding your application. All other versions of the form will no longer be accepted by the Department starting May 1, 2024.
