The compact allows PAs with a qualifying license in one member state to practice in other member states without additional licensure. The bill establishes the PA Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the compact, including rulemaking, data collection, and dispute resolution. Member states must meet certain requirements, such as licensing PAs, participating in the commission's data system, and having mechanisms for investigating complaints.
