Bill > HB247

This bill enacts the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, which aims to strengthen access to healthcare and provide a streamlined process for physicians to become licensed in multiple states. The key provisions include: - Establishing an Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission to administer the compact, with voting representatives appointed by each member state. - Defining eligibility criteria for physicians to obtain an "expedited license" to practice medicine in multiple states through the compact. - Outlining the application and issuance process for expedited licenses, including fees, renewal, and disciplinary actions. - Authorizing the Commission to establish rules, oversee administration, and enforce compliance with the compact. - Providing for the funding and governance of the Commission. - Detailing procedures for member states to join, withdraw from, or have their membership terminated in the compact. The bill also specifies how New Mexico will appoint its representatives to the Commission and requires the Commission to file its bylaws and rules with the state.
