Bill Summary

Relative to the Nurse Licensure Compact. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill enacts the Nurse Licensure Compact in Massachusetts, which allows nurses to practice in other member states with a multistate license. The key provisions include: - Establishing the Nurse Licensure Compact in Massachusetts, allowing registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPNs/VNs) to hold a multistate license that is recognized across member states. - Outlining the requirements for obtaining a multistate license, such as graduation from an approved nursing program, passing the relevant NCLEX exam, and undergoing a criminal background check. - Authorizing party states to take disciplinary action against a nurse's multistate license and requiring coordination through a shared licensure information system. - Creating the Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators to govern the compact, including rulemaking authority. - Providing for the effective date, withdrawal process, and amendment of the compact. - Directing the Massachusetts Board of Nursing to implement the compact, including conducting fingerprint-based criminal background checks for multistate license applicants. The overall goal is to facilitate interstate nursing practice, improve public access to nursing care, and enhance coordination and communication among nursing boards across member states.
