An Act authorizing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join the PA Licensure Interstate Compact; providing for the form of the compact; and imposing additional powers and duties on the Governor, the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the compact.

SB 1051 would authorize Pennsylvania to join the PA Licensure Interstate Compact, allowing licensed professionals (like nurses, engineers, or therapists) to practice across state lines more easily. The bill establishes the legal form of the compact and requires the Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth to adopt it. Key provisions include creating a streamlined process for out-of-state license recognition and requiring the state to meet specific standards for participating states. This directly affects Pennsylvania-licensed professionals seeking work in other compact states and the state agencies managing professional licensing.
