KS HB2069

Kansas would join four interstate professional licensure compacts covering school psychologists, dietitians, cosmetologists, and physician assistants, allowing licensed professionals to practice across member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state

Each compact creates an interstate commission to administer the agreement, with one delegate per member state, authority to adopt binding rules, collect fees, and maintain a shared data system for license verification and disciplinary information

Licensees must hold an active, unencumbered license in their home state and meet compact-specific requirements including education credentials, national examinations, and background checks to receive equivalent licenses or compact privileges in other member states

Member states retain authority to investigate complaints, take disciplinary action against practitioners within their borders, and set scope of practice laws, with adverse actions in one state triggering suspension of practice privileges in all member states

All four compacts take effect when enacted by seven states and include provisions for military families allowing active duty members and spouses to designate a home state regardless of physical residence
