Establishes the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact to streamline PA licensure across states.
The bill creates the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, allowing PAs licensed in one state to practice in other participating states. It requires states to license PAs, participate in a data system, and report adverse actions. The Compact Commission oversees the agreement, with powers to promulgate rules, enforce compliance, and resolve disputes. States can withdraw, but must notify licensees and allow them to retain their privileges for 180 days. The Compact aims to enhance portability for PAs, particularly military families.
