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

HB 131 establishes a multistate nurse licensure compact in Alaska and adjusts fee structures for nursing licenses. It requires that fees for single-state nursing licenses (for registered, practical, or advanced practice registered nurses) cover total regulatory costs, while multistate license fees must be double the single-state fee. This directly affects nursing professionals seeking licensure in Alaska and the Board of Nursing, which must now set fees based on these cost-based rules. The bill also updates the definition of "health care provider" to include nurses licensed under Alaska's nursing statutes.
