A bill for an act enacting the interstate podiatric medical licensure compact.

This bill creates an interstate agreement allowing podiatrists to more easily practice across participating states. It establishes a process for obtaining an "expedited license" in other compact states if a podiatrist already holds a full, unrestricted license in one state and meets specific requirements (like passing exams and having no recent criminal offenses related to their practice). Crucially, it requires podiatrists to be licensed in the state where the patient is located during treatment, ensuring patient safety under that state's regulations. The law adds this new pathway for license portability but does not change existing state licensing rules for those who choose not to use the compact.
