HB 149 Alaska House · 33rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relating to the licensure of nursing professionals; relating to a multistate nurse licensure compact; and providing for an effective date.

This bill updates Alaska's nursing licensure laws to align with a multistate nurse licensure compact, allowing nurses to practice across state lines with a single license. It mandates that the state adjust licensing fees for both single-state and multistate nursing licenses to match the actual costs of regulating these professions. Additionally, the legislation requires various healthcare professionals, including nurses and doctors, to clearly display their specific titles and specialties on all public-facing materials to ensure transparency. The bill also defines regulatory costs to include expenses for both the state department and the Board of Nursing when calculating appropriate fee levels.
