MO HB3129

Missouri would join the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, allowing PAs with a qualifying license in one participating state to practice in other member states through a "Compact Privilege" without obtaining additional licenses

PAs must meet eligibility requirements including graduation from an accredited PA program, current NCCPA certification, no felony or misdemeanor convictions, no controlled substance license revocations, and no license revocations or current restrictions

Creates the PA Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency to administer the compact, with one delegate per participating state, authority to promulgate binding rules, establish fees, and maintain a data system tracking licensure and adverse actions

The compact becomes effective when seven states enact it; participating states may charge fees for granting compact privileges and retain authority to take adverse action against a PA's compact privilege within their jurisdiction

A state may withdraw by enacting a repealing statute, with a 180-day transition period during which existing compact privileges remain valid
