RELATING TO THE NURSE LICENSURE COMPACT.
Summary
Authorizes the Governor to enter the State into the multistate Nurse Licensure Compact, which will allow a nurse who is licensed by a home state to practice under a multistate licensure privilege in each party state. Beginning 7/1/2026, requires individuals that hold a multistate nurse license issued by another state employed by a health care facility to annually complete demographic data surveys. Authorizes the State Board of Nursing to charge different fees customarily and historically charged for registered nurses and licensed practical nurses who hold a multistate license issued by the State. Takes effect 7/1/3000; provided that the Nurse Licensure Compact shall become effective and binding in the State two years after enactment of this Act. (SD2)
