CLEARinghouse Chats - Virtual Collaboration for the Regulatory Community

These sessions are only open to CLEAR members, giving you a space to collaborate and stay connected and an opportunity to discuss timely and relevant regulatory topics.

This Chat session will focus on Mobility - through universal licensing, compacts, and reciprocity.

• What lessons can be learned from jurisdictions participating in compacts or reciprocity agreements? 
• What questions do jurisdictions have or what should they consider before entering into such compacts or agreements?
• What level of influence does each jurisdiction have/maintain? 
• What if practitioners obtain a license in a jurisdiction with the lowest requirements and then practice in their (higher-requirement) home jurisdiction?  
• What about discipline issues when mobile practitioners are governed by more or less restrictive laws in different jurisdictions? 
• How can disciplinary information be shared across jurisdictions, especially when practitioners pursue mobility options despite discipline issues in another jurisdiction?

Breakout rooms are moderated by discussion facilitators representing a broad range of perspectives on the topics. Participants are encouraged to turn on webcams/microphones and share information about what is happening in your jurisdictions. Whether your jurisdiction is already part of a compact or reciprocity agreement or your jurisidiction is struggling with the decision, please join us to share your experiences and questions.
