Senate workforce panel gives due pass to occupational therapy compact, acts on three other licensure bills

The North Dakota Senate Workforce Development Committee voted unanimously to recommend passage of Senate Bill 2146, the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, after testimony from practitioners, trade groups and the Council of State Governments. The committee also acted on several other licensure bills during the same session: it gave a due pass to Senate Bill 2042, voted a do‑not‑pass recommendation on Senate Bill 2041, and approved Senate Bill 2110 as amended to add an administrative procedure and judicial review section.
