Revises provisions relating to certain providers of health care. (BDR 54-449)

SB 34 establishes five new interstate compacts enabling healthcare professionals - such as physician assistants, nurses, audiologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists - to practice across state lines in participating states without obtaining separate licenses. To qualify, professionals must hold an active home-state license, pass background checks, have no recent disciplinary actions, report adverse actions within 30 days, and pay applicable fees. The compacts require notification to the relevant commission before practicing in another state and mandate adherence to that state’s practice laws. This directly affects licensed healthcare providers seeking multi-state practice and participating states adopting the compacts.
