Bill overview
This bill seeks to establish an interstate compact for physician assistants, allowing them to practice across state lines with a standardized level of licensure. Currently, physician assistants must obtain separate licenses in each state where they wish to work, which can be a complex and time-consuming process. The compact would streamline this process, improving access to care and potentially increasing the supply of physician assistants in states facing shortages. The bill is modeled after similar compacts established for other healthcare professions.
