AI Summary

  • Creates chapter 43-17.5 of the North Dakota Century Code to enact the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, allowing PAs with a qualifying license in one participating state to practice in other participating states through a "compact privilege" without obtaining additional licenses.

  • Requires PAs seeking compact privilege to have graduated from an accredited PA program, hold current NCCPA certification, have no felony or misdemeanor convictions, and maintain an unrestricted license with no adverse actions.

  • Establishes the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency with one delegate per participating state, empowered to promulgate binding rules, maintain a coordinated data system, and levy annual assessments on participating states.
