     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Temporary Reciprocity to Ensure Access to Treatment Act or the TREAT Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill temporarily authorizes the interstate provision of in-person and telehealth services. This authorization applies during, and for at least 180 days after, the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) emergency.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, subject to scope of practice and other requirements, a health care professional may provide health services in any U.S. jurisdiction based on that individual's authorization to practice in any one state or territory.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also provides certain related powers to health care professional regulatory bodies, such as medical boards. Specifically, a regulatory body may investigate and take disciplinary actions against a professional who provides services pursuant to this bill to a patient in that body's jurisdiction.&lt;/p&gt;
