MI HB4309

Enacts the PA Licensure Compact, an interstate agreement allowing physician assistants with a qualifying license in one participating state to practice in other participating states through a "compact privilege" without obtaining separate licenses

Requires PAs seeking compact privileges to hold current NCCPA certification, have graduated from an accredited PA program, have no felony or misdemeanor convictions, and have no history of license revocation or controlled substance license suspension

Creates the PA Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency with one delegate per participating state, empowered to establish rules, fees, a coordinated data system for tracking licensure and adverse actions, and to enforce compliance

Compact becomes effective when enacted by seven states; participating states retain authority to take adverse action against compact privileges within their jurisdiction and must report disciplinary actions to the data system within 30 days

Takes effect 90 days after enactment; clarifies that "podiatric physician" and "podiatrist" are synonymous terms in existing law
