S.190

Physician Assistant Licensure Compact

Chamber Passed·4/17/25

Establishes a PA Licensure Compact to facilitate interstate practice for physician assistants.

The bill establishes a Physician Assistant (PA) Licensure Compact to streamline the process for PAs to practice across state lines. It creates a joint administrative body, the PA Licensure Compact Commission, to oversee the compact. The compact allows PAs with an unrestricted license in one state to practice in other participating states without additional licensure. The compact includes provisions for adverse actions, data sharing, dispute resolution, and enforcement. Participating states retain jurisdiction over disciplinary actions against PAs practicing within their borders.
