Thirty-seven states have enacted the OT Compact, but only some are issuing privileges, and California, New York, Texas and Florida are not members. Each guide covers the state's compact status, whether it licenses OTs from other states by endorsement, its exams, temporary licenses, OTA supervision rules, school and advanced-practice credentials, and renewal. Every fact links to its source; anything we could not confirm is marked as not verified rather than guessed.
