Bill > SB1526

This bill extends the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, a program that allows physicians to obtain a license to practice medicine in multiple states through a streamlined process, until June 30, 2034. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 29, which deals with the termination of governmental entities, by adding a new section that specifically lists the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact as an entity scheduled to terminate on that date. The bill also removes a reference to the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact from another section of the code, ensuring consistency with the new termination date. The context for this action is that governmental entities in Tennessee are subject to periodic review and potential termination unless reauthorized, and this bill reauthorizes the Compact for an additional period.
