AI Summary

  • Enacts the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact effective 180 days after the bill's effective date, creating a streamlined pathway for physicians to obtain expedited licenses in multiple member states without changing existing state Medical Practice Acts.

  • Establishes eligibility requirements for physicians seeking expedited licenses, including graduation from accredited medical schools, passing licensing exams within three attempts, completing approved graduate medical education, holding specialty certification, maintaining a full unrestricted license, and having no criminal convictions or disciplinary history.

  • Creates the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission to administer the compact, consisting of two voting representatives appointed by each member state, with authority to promulgate rules, collect fees, maintain a physician database, and coordinate disciplinary actions across member states.

  • Requires the compact to become effective and binding when enacted by at least seven states; allows states to withdraw with one year notice and member states to redesignate their state of principal license; automatically suspends all licenses held by a physician for 90 days if their principal license is revoked or suspended.

  • Repeals Section 16189 effective three years after the bill's enactment; bill takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent on House Bill 4067 also being enacted into law.
