AI Summary
This bill clarifies the licensure requirements for contractor medical professionals, such as physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, audiologists, and psychologists, to perform medical disability examinations for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, it allows these health care professionals to conduct such examinations in any state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory or possession, as long as they have a current unrestricted license to practice their profession and are not barred from practicing in any of these jurisdictions. This is intended to provide more flexibility for the Department of Veterans Affairs to contract with medical professionals to conduct these examinations.
