HB202 Summary

• Establishes the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, enabling physicians meeting eligibility requirements to obtain expedited licenses in multiple member states through a streamlined process.

• Creates the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission to oversee administration, develop rules, manage licensing databases, conduct joint investigations, and coordinate disciplinary actions among member states.

• Requires physicians to designate a state of principal license and meet specific qualifications including medical school accreditation, passage of licensing exams within three attempts, completed graduate medical education, and no prior criminal convictions or license discipline.

• Implements automatic disciplinary coordination where actions by one member board trigger automatic suspension or matching actions in other member states, with limited exceptions for independent investigation periods.

• Requires a minimum of seven states to enact the compact for it to become effective, with provisions for voluntary withdrawal after one year's notice and automatic dissolution if membership falls below two states.
