HF 1925 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Nurse Licensure Compact created, and money appropriated.

HF 1925 creates Minnesota's participation in the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) licensed in Minnesota to practice in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses. The bill establishes a "multistate license" issued by Minnesota that authorizes practice across all compact states, requiring nurses to meet Minnesota's licensing standards (including NCLEX exams, education requirements, and English proficiency if needed). It also mandates sharing disciplinary information between states to maintain safety standards. This directly affects Minnesota nurses seeking to work in other compact states and simplifies interstate practice for healthcare providers.
