Abstract
(HB6017 · 103rd Legislature) Education: all other employees; school psychologist licensure compact; enact. Creates new act. Sponsor: Rep. Luke Meerman ® In committee: H Health Policy Latest action (2026-06-02): Bill Electronically Reproduced 05/21/2026
Why this matters
For school psychologists and the districts that employ them, this compact would reduce barriers to hiring practitioners licensed in other states and allow existing Michigan licensees to work across state lines without duplicative credentialing. It continues a trend of Michigan joining interstate occupational compacts (physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory care, physician assistants) that expand labor mobility for licensed workers.
