Draft Rule on OTC Fees (Administrative and State) The OTCC Finance Committee developed a process to recommend a fee per compact privilege to practice. The Committee combined known information, such as the median cost of license fees across current OT Compact states, and estimated information, such as the number of OT professionals with multi-state licenses. The Committee also factored in the current and anticipated expenses to sustain the OT Compact and OT Compact Commission. For more context to the process, the minutes to the Finance Committee and Executive Committee meetings are available on the “2024 Meetings" page of the www.OTCompact.gov website.
