AN ACT AUTHORIZING RECIPROCAL LICENSURE FOR CERTAIN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.

SB 1073 allows healthcare professionals licensed in other U.S. states or territories to practice in Connecticut without obtaining a separate Connecticut license, provided they hold valid licenses in their home state. It directly affects specific professions including dentists, pharmacists, occupational therapists, radiographers, emergency medical personnel, and others listed in the bill. The law authorizes reciprocal practice under the same scope as their home-state license, removing a key barrier for out-of-state providers. This applies except during civil or public health emergencies, which would require standard Connecticut licensing procedures.
