What this means for a Oregon counselor
Because Oregon is not a member, a Oregon license cannot anchor a compact privilege, and a counselor licensed in a live state cannot use a privilege to treat Oregon clients, including by telehealth. Practicing across the Oregon line in either direction still runs on licensure by endorsement with the receiving board.
Oregon 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 Oregon legislature.
Every license a Oregon counselor holds keeps its own CE cycle. The Oregon rule is on the Oregon counselor CE page, and the compact vs endorsement comparison covers the alternatives.
Practicing in more than one state?

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