Massachusetts Has Introduced PSYPACT® Legislation
A bill has been introduced in Massachusetts, which is worth watching but changes nothing about what you may lawfully do today. Bills are introduced far more often than they are enacted, and enactment is itself a step short of an effective date. An APIT® does not reach clients located in Massachusetts, and a Massachusetts license cannot serve as your compact home state. To practise here — in person or by telepsychology — you need a Massachusetts license.
Compact status changes with legislative sessions and Commission votes. Confirm current participation with the PSYPACT® Commission before relying on it — this page reflects our last verification, not a live feed.

An APIT® does not authorize telepsychology to clients located in Massachusetts, and a Massachusetts license cannot serve as your compact home state. To practise here you need a license from Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists.
There is a second consequence that catches people. Because the E.Passport requires an active doctoral-level license in at least one participating jurisdiction, a psychologist whose only license is in Massachusetts cannot use the compact anywhere — not at reduced benefit, but not at all. The fix is to obtain a license in a participating state, which is one of the most common engagements we run.
