ASLP Interstate Compact Update Follow Up as of 4/9/2026
This is a follow up to my previous post regarding the Audiology and Speech Language Pathology Interstate Compact.
The ASLP Compact Commission has published a document titled “State Fee and Jurisprudence Requirements,” updated on 4/9/2026. It is available on the ASLP Compact website and outlines what each state requires in order to obtain a compact privilege.
Here is what it shows:
Fees
There are two types of fees
Each state has its own state fee
There is also a $50.00 USD compact fee per state through the Compact Commission
The total cost depends on the state you are applying to
Application Status
The chart shows whether each state is currently accepting ASLP compact applications
Not all states are open yet
Important Requirement
Your home state must be issuing compact privileges before you can be issued a practice privilege in another state
Jurisprudence Requirements
A jurisprudence exam is a short test on that state’s laws and rules for practicing as an SLP
Some states require this exam and some do not
If required, it must be completed before obtaining the compact privilege
There may also be a separate fee for the exam
Process Differences by State
There is no one standard process
Some states only require a fee
Some require a fee plus a jurisprudence exam
Others may have additional steps
Where to Find This Information
Everything is organized through CompactConnect
You can see fees, jurisprudence requirements, and any additional state requirements there
Note
Being part of the compact or having legislation passed is not the same as accepting applications for compact privileges
Key Takeaway
The compact makes it easier to practice across states
You still have to meet each state’s individual requirements
This is a common misunderstanding, so I wanted to clarify it based on the actual resource.
