AI Summary
- Enacts the Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) Compact allowing APRNs licensed in their home state to practice in all participating party states under a multistate licensure privilege without obtaining additional licenses
- Establishes uniform licensure requirements including completion of an accredited graduate-level APRN program, passing a national certification exam, at least 2,080 hours of APRN practice experience, fingerprint-based background checks, and no felony convictions
- Creates the Interstate Commission of APRN Compact Administrators to administer the compact, promulgate rules, facilitate information sharing through a coordinated licensure information system, and resolve disputes between party states
- Grants multistate license holders prescriptive authority for non-controlled drugs; controlled substance prescribing still requires meeting each individual state's requirements
- Requires the compact to take effect once seven states have enacted it, with a six-month notice period required for any state withdrawal
