ASLP-IC Readies for Rollout: Here’s What You Need to Know

  • Government Relations News

The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) continues to move toward full implementation, expanding opportunities for audiologists and speech-language pathologists to practice across state lines without requiring additional licensing. On June 30, the ASLP-IC commission convened to share key updates and vote on measures that shape the next phase of the compact’s rollout.

CompactConnect: Next Steps for Member States

The CompactConnect data system is projected to launch in the fall of 2025, with an estimated go-live date of September 30. The CompactConnect platform will serve as the central system for managing the interstate privilege to practice under the compact. However, this timeline remains tentative, and not all member states will be ready to onboard or recognize privileges immediately. As with other licensure compacts, a phased rollout is expected. The commission is currently working with a group of interested “pilot states” that have indicated readiness to begin integration with the system. These pilot states will help test and refine CompactConnect’s implementation before broader rollout to additional member states.

Background Checks: A Continuing Barrier

One of the key hurdles remaining is the implementation of required FBI background checks, and progress has been slow. Some states still need to pass legislation implementing background checks, while others are still finalizing agreements with the FBI to begin conducting checks. These procedural delays mean that, even in states where the compact has passed, practitioners may not participate until these systems are fully in place.

Administrative Fees for Compact Privileges

Staff shared additional details on the fee structure for those applying for the practice privilege. The anticipated fee for obtaining a privilege to practice will be $50 per state. The administrative fees will support the operation of CompactConnect and the processing of privilege applications across jurisdictions. This fee will apply each time a practitioner requests a privilegeto practice in a new state and will also be required at each renewal period. In addition, states may charge a separate state fee. Importantly, each state’s compact legislation determines the renewal cycle. Some states may requireannual renewals, while others operate on a different renewal timeline. In the coming months, the commission will release additional guidance on payment systems, timelines, and state-specific renewal procedures.
