(a) In addition to any other powers granted under state law, a Compact State's Psychology Regulatory Authority may:
(1) Issue subpoenas, for both hearings and investigations, which require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence. Subpoenas issued by a Compact State's Psychology Regulatory Authority for the attendance and testimony of witnesses, the production of evidence from another Compact State, or both, shall be enforced in the latter state by any court of competent jurisdiction, according to that court's practice and procedure in considering subpoenas issued in its own proceedings. The issuing State Psychology Regulatory Authority shall pay any witness fees, travel expenses, mileage, and other fees required by the service statutes of the state where the witnesses or evidence are located; and
(2) Issue cease and desist, injunctive relief orders, or both, to revoke a psychologist's Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology, Temporary Authorization to Practice, or both.
(b) During the course of any investigation, a psychologist may not change his or her Home State licensure. A Home State Psychology Regulatory Authority is authorized to complete any pending investigations of a psychologist and to take any actions appropriate under its law. The Home State Psychology Regulatory Authority shall promptly report the conclusions of such investigations to the commission. Once an investigation has been completed, and pending the outcome of the investigation, the psychologist may change his or her Home State licensure. The commission shall promptly notify the new Home State of any such decisions as provided in the rules of the commission. All information provided to the commission or distributed by Compact States pursuant to the psychologist shall be confidential, filed under seal and used for investigatory or disciplinary matters. The commission may create additional rules for mandated or discretionary sharing of information by Compact States.
