IL SB3074

Illinois would enter the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact one year after the Act's effective date, enabling PAs with an unrestricted license in one participating state to practice in other member states through a "Compact Privilege."

PAs seeking Compact Privilege must hold current NCCPA certification, have graduated from an accredited PA program, have no felony or misdemeanor convictions, and maintain no license revocations or DEA registration suspensions.

A PA Licensure Compact Commission would be created with delegates from each participating state's licensing board to administer the data system, establish rules, and oversee enforcement.

The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation must submit a report to the Governor and General Assembly within 3 months describing necessary rule and statutory changes, and begin rulemaking to comply with the Compact.

Participating states retain authority to take adverse action against a PA's Compact Privilege within their jurisdiction and may charge fees for granting the privilege.
