HB156

Physician Assistants; interstate licensure compact, established

Complete·4/20/26

Alabama adopts the PA Licensure Compact to streamline physician assistant licensing across member states.

This bill adopts the Physician Assistant (PA) Licensure Compact to create uniform licensing standards and facilitate interstate practice for PAs. 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.
