Medical Occupations - As enacted, enacts the "Physician Assistant (PA) Licensure Compact." - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 68.
This bill enacts the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact in Tennessee, allowing licensed physician assistants to practice across other member states without obtaining a new state license for each location. The law creates a system where a physician assistant can receive a "Compact Privilege" to practice in other participating states if they hold a valid, unrestricted license in good standing in their home state. A key provision is that the practice of medicine is considered to occur where the patient is located, meaning the physician assistant remains under the jurisdiction of the state where the patient receives care. The legislation also includes specific provisions to assist military families by streamlining licensure for active-duty personnel and their spouses who move frequently.
