Enacts the interstate nurse licensure compact and the advanced practice registered nurse compact

This bill establishes New York as a participating state in the Interstate Nurse Licensure Compact (Part A) and the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Compact (Part B). It creates "multistate licenses" that allow registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPNs) licensed in New York to practice in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses, while maintaining accountability under the state where the patient is located. Key provisions include uniform licensing requirements, mutual recognition of licenses across states, and processes for sharing disciplinary information between states. The compact aims to reduce licensing barriers for nurses working across state lines while ensuring consistent public safety standards.
