This revision removes two implementation mechanisms that were designed to expedite Pennsylvania's entry into the Interstate Compact, while clarifying the bill's effective date. The changes eliminate the authority to issue temporary regulations within 180 days of the compact taking effect and remove the requirement to begin accepting and issuing compact privilege applications within that same 180-day window. Additionally, the bill corrects its effective date from immediate to 60 days after enactment, resolving a previous internal contradiction, and removes incomplete language referencing duties of the State Board of Occupational Therapy that appeared to be erroneously inserted. These modifications scale back the administrative expediting provisions while retaining the core compact authorization.
