Interstate Med.l Lic. Comp./Intern'l Phys.
SB 336 establishes the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, creating a streamlined pathway for qualified physicians to obtain licenses in multiple participating states. This compact aims to enhance the portability of medical licenses and improve patient access to healthcare by allowing eligible physicians to apply for an "expedited license." To qualify, physicians must meet specific criteria, including holding an unrestricted license in a member state, passing medical exams, completing graduate medical education, and maintaining a clean disciplinary and criminal record. The bill also defines how physicians designate a 'state of principal license' and outlines the role of an Interstate Commission in managing the compact.
