AI Summary
This bill establishes the Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact, a system designed to allow podiatric physicians (doctors of podiatric medicine) licensed in one participating state to more easily obtain a license to practice in another participating state, thereby improving healthcare access. The compact sets minimum standards for podiatric medical licensure across participating states and creates an Interstate Commission, an entity composed of representatives from each member state, to oversee and administer the compact's operations. This Commission will handle matters such as establishing rules, managing finances, and maintaining a data system for licensed podiatric physicians. The compact will become effective once at least four states have adopted it into law.
