The Board of Occupational Therapy Practice voted to accept an endorsement chart under 10 M.R.S. § 8003-H and to recognize a set of states as substantially equivalent for occupational therapist licensure.
Mary Miller moved to accept the following states as substantially equivalent for licensure as an Occupational Therapist: New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware; Genny Cook seconded. The board recorded the vote as "3 in favor." The endorsement chart was entered into the record under the statutory authority referenced in the agenda.
The transcript does not include the board's detailed rationale for each state on the list, nor does it record any dissenting remarks. The board also noted a Chair's report providing information about the interstate compact during the same agenda item; no compact vote was recorded in the transcript.
Staff and the board may act on licensure applications using the updated endorsement chart; the transcript does not specify effective-date implementation details beyond the meeting action.
