Summary
The C.A.R.E. for Mental Health Professionals Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a grant program that awards funding to interstate compact commissions and licensure boards to support mental health professional licensure portability across state lines. The program aims to incentivize counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and pediatric mental health professionals to practice in states that have adopted interstate compacts recognizing professional qualifications from other states. The bill authorizes $4 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2029 to develop, operate, and maintain these interstate compact commissions.
