AI Summary
This bill:
Enacts the Nurse Licensure Compact, which allows nurses to obtain a multistate license that authorizes them to practice nursing in any of the party states under the compact. The compact establishes procedures for obtaining and maintaining a multistate license, authorizes party state licensing boards to take certain actions against a nurse's multistate licensure privilege, and creates the Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators to administer the compact. The bill requires applicants for a multistate nursing license in Connecticut to undergo a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history records check. It also requires the Commissioner of Public Health to transfer an additional $2 from certain nursing license renewals to the professional assistance program account from October 1, 2025 to January 1, 2028. Finally, the bill establishes a working group to evaluate the implementation of the compact and assess whether Connecticut should remain a party to it, with a report due by January 1, 2027.
