HB4935 Summary

• Enacts the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing nurses with a multistate license from their home state to practice in all party states under a multistate licensure privilege without obtaining separate licenses in each state.

• Establishes the Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators to oversee the compact, including authority to promulgate rules, manage a coordinated licensure information system, and enforce compliance among party states.

• Requires party states to share licensing and disciplinary information through a coordinated system and allows licensing boards to take adverse action against nurses' multistate privileges; only the home state may take action against the multistate license itself.

• Permits disclosure of confidential health professional recovery program information and reporter identities when required for nurse licensure compact purposes, modifying existing confidentiality protections.

• Recognizes individuals holding multistate licenses under the compact as licensed registered nurses or licensed practical nurses authorized to practice in Michigan without separate state licensure.
