Michigan HB4309 creates a Physician Assistant (PA) Licensure Compact to streamline licensing across states.

Michigan HB4309 amends state law to enact the PA Licensure Compact, allowing PAs licensed in one state to practice in other participating states. The compact aims to enhance access to medical services while maintaining patient safety. PAs must meet specific criteria, such as holding a current NCCPA certification and having no felony or misdemeanor convictions, to qualify for a compact privilege. The compact establishes a commission to oversee its implementation, including rulemaking, dispute resolution, and enforcement.
