Enact PA licensure compact

This bill adopts the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, which allows licensed physician assistants to practice across multiple participating states without needing separate licenses for each location. The legislation establishes a system where a PA holding a valid license in one state can receive a compact privilege to practice in other states that have joined the agreement, while maintaining that the PA remains under the jurisdiction of the state where the patient is located during care. Key provisions include requirements for criminal background checks for all applicants, a centralized data system to track licenses and disciplinary actions, and special provisions for military families to obtain compact privileges based on their existing unrestricted licenses. The bill also creates a national commission to oversee the compact and grants state licensing boards authority to take adverse actions against PAs practicing under compact privileges.
