MODERATE
The bill was renumbered from HB 909 to CS/HB 909 and expanded from 41 to 50 pages. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new purpose clause (g) to facilitate telehealth technology use, plus a new requirement that a licensee may only hold a home state license in one member state at a time. Several statutory references were also updated to reflect new sections.
