What is the Compact Commission?

The Compact Commission refers specifically to the governing body that oversees the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT). This compact allows for the practice of psychology across state lines among participating states, facilitating better access to psychological services through a streamlined process for licensed psychologists. The Compact Commission's responsibilities include the management of the compact's operational rules, supporting member states, and ensuring compliance with the compact's standards.

Each state that participates in the compact agrees to adhere to its regulations and provides a framework for psychologists to practice remotely or in-person across state borders. This arrangement helps address the increasing demand for psychological services and responds to the modern needs of both practitioners and clients.

The other options do not accurately represent the purpose or function of the Compact Commission, as it is distinctly focused on the governance of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact and does not serve as a regulatory body for all therapists, nor is it involved in unpublished research or educational oversight in psychology.
