Bill > HF4052

This bill creates the Nurse Licensure Compact, which establishes a multi-state license for registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPNs/VNs) that allows them to practice in any participating state. The bill defines key terms, outlines the general provisions and jurisdiction of the compact, sets requirements for obtaining a multi-state license, gives additional authorities to party state licensing boards, establishes a coordinated information system, creates an Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators, and provides rules for rulemaking, oversight, dispute resolution, and enforcement. The bill also appropriates funding to the Board of Nursing for implementation and sets an effective date.
