What this means for a Idaho counselor
Because Idaho is not a member, a Idaho license cannot anchor a compact privilege, and a counselor licensed in a live state cannot use a privilege to treat Idaho clients, including by telehealth. Practicing across the Idaho line in either direction still runs on licensure by endorsement with the receiving board.
Idaho has seen compact bills before (linked above) that did not become law, and the Commission lists no active bill. Any change would start with a new bill in the Idaho legislature.
Every license a Idaho counselor holds keeps its own CE cycle. The Idaho rule is on the Idaho counselor CE page, and the compact vs endorsement comparison covers the alternatives.
Practicing in more than one state?

Questions about Idaho and the compact
Is Idaho in the Counseling Compact?
No. Idaho is not in the Counseling Compact. Idaho is not a Counseling Compact member. Earlier compact bills did not pass and the Commission lists no active Idaho bill.
Can a Idaho counselor practice in other states under the compact?
Not under the compact. Because Idaho is not a member, a Idaho license cannot anchor a privilege to practice, and counselors from live states cannot use a privilege in Idaho. Cross-state practice runs on licensure by endorsement.
Does a compact privilege change Idaho CE requirements?
No, because there is no privilege to hold yet. Every Idaho license, and every out-of-state license a Idaho counselor keeps, still renews on its own board's CE cycle.
