MI HB5117

Enacts the PA Licensure Compact, allowing physician assistants licensed in one Participating State to practice in other Participating States through a "Compact Privilege" without obtaining separate licenses.

Requires Participating States to implement criminal background checks, use the NCCPA PANCE national exam for licensure, maintain a data system for licensure and disciplinary information, and report adverse actions to a national PA Licensure Compact Commission.

Establishes the PA Licensure Compact Commission as a multi-state administrative body with delegates from each Participating State, authorized to promulgate binding rules, manage finances, and oversee compliance.

Permits Remote States to take adverse action against a PA's Compact Privilege to protect public health and safety, while the PA's home state retains exclusive power over the Qualifying License; limits adverse actions based on conduct lawful in other states.

Allows Michigan physician assistants holding a Compact Privilege to practice without obtaining a separate Michigan license, treating them as licensed physician assistants for purposes of state medical practice regulations.
