⚠ VAEIA federal backstop
Not through the compact — Vermont is not currently a Occupational Therapy compact member. A military-spouse Occupational Therapist relies on VAEIA 2022 / 50 U.S.C. § 4025a, which requires Vermont to recognize a valid out-of-state license upon relocation for military orders.

Under 3 V.S.A. section 123 the Office of Professional Regulation grants expedited licensure to the spouse of an active-duty servicemember who relocates to Vermont and is licensed in good standing elsewhere, and this reaches occupational therapists because OPR is the office that licenses them.
