Bill > SB0303

This bill adopts the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC), which creates a streamlined process for physicians to obtain medical licenses in multiple states. The compact establishes a comprehensive framework for physicians to more easily practice medicine across state lines by creating an expedited licensure process. To be eligible, physicians must meet specific qualifications, including graduating from an accredited medical school, passing licensing exams, completing graduate medical education, and holding a full and unrestricted medical license in their primary state of licensure. The bill creates an Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the implementation, which will maintain a database of licensed physicians, facilitate information sharing between member states, and handle joint investigations and disciplinary actions. The compact allows physicians to apply for an expedited license in member states, with their primary state of licensure conducting background checks and verifying qualifications. The system aims to enhance healthcare access while maintaining patient safety by ensuring rigorous professional standards and allowing member states to maintain their existing medical practice regulations and disciplinary authorities.
