Governor Henry McMaster signed House Bill 3599 into law. This bill allows South Carolina OT practitioners to participate in the OT Compact.  The OT Compact is a joint initiative of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).   Thank you again to Representative Brandon Newton for introducing this bill.  Thank you SCOTA members for supporting this initiative!
