A bill for the speech-language pathology compact (ASLP-IC) is pending in New Jersey; it is not law yet. The agencies that license each profession are listed below with links to their official sites.

Checked against official sources on Oct 27, 2026. Compact membership is not the same as being able to work there today: a compact privilege starts only once the compact issues privileges in that state. Confirm with the board before you apply.
