HB 5964 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Health occupations: physicians; interstate medical licensure compact; remove sunset. Amends sec. 16189 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16189).

This bill removes the expiration date from Michigan's Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, which allows qualified physicians to practice in multiple states with a single license. By eliminating the sunset provision, the law ensures that this streamlined licensing process remains in effect permanently rather than requiring renewal or reauthorization. The change directly impacts doctors who wish to work across state lines and the administrative bodies that oversee medical licensing in Michigan.
