AN ACT ADOPTING THE PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT LICENSURE COMPACT.

HB 6835 would adopt the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact (PALC), allowing physician assistants licensed in one participating state to practice in other member states without obtaining additional licenses. This bill directly affects physician assistants seeking to work across state lines and patients in states that join the compact. The key provision requires the state to formally join the PALC, establishing standardized licensing requirements to streamline practice authorization. By adopting the compact, the bill aims to reduce licensing barriers for PAs and expand access to care in participating states.
