SSB 1052 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act enacting the physician assistant licensure compact.

This bill creates a physician assistant (PA) licensure compact, allowing PAs licensed in one participating state to practice in other participating states without obtaining a new license. It requires PAs to follow the laws of the state where the patient is located during care, and establishes a "compact privilege" for out-of-state PAs. The compact specifically helps military families by enabling active-duty personnel and spouses to use their home-state license in other compact states. Participating states must maintain criminal background checks, share disciplinary actions, and follow uniform standards to protect patient safety.
