MI SB0303

Michigan would join the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, creating a streamlined pathway for eligible physicians to obtain medical licenses in multiple member states without completing separate full applications in each state

Eligible physicians must meet specific requirements including graduation from an accredited medical school, passing USMLE or COMLEX-USA within three attempts, completing accredited graduate medical education, holding specialty certification, and having no criminal convictions, license discipline, or controlled substance violations

Physicians must designate a "state of principal license" based on primary residence, where 25% of practice occurs, employer location, or federal tax residence, and that state verifies eligibility including conducting FBI fingerprint-based background checks

Creates the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission with two voting representatives from each member state to administer the compact, promulgate rules, maintain a database of licensed physicians, and coordinate disciplinary information sharing

Disciplinary action by any member state against a compact-licensed physician triggers automatic consequences: revocation or suspension in the principal license state automatically applies the same status to all compact licenses, while action by other states results in 90-day automatic suspension to allow investigation
