PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT LICENSURE COMPACT

Summary

The bill sets up a mutual‑recognition system so a physician assistant licensed in one compact state can receive a "compact privilege" to work in another state where a patient is located. It requires participating states to share licensing data, run background checks and honor disciplinary actions, and it specifically helps active‑duty military families. The goal is to expand access to medical care while keeping patient safety protections.
