NM SB1

New Mexico joins the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, allowing eligible physicians to obtain expedited medical licenses in multiple member states through a streamlined application process with their designated "state of principal license"

Eligible physicians must hold specialty board certification, have no criminal convictions, no prior license discipline, and no controlled substance license suspensions or revocations

Governor appoints two New Mexico Medical Board members (one MD, one DO) to serve as commissioners on the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission, which administers the compact and can promulgate binding rules

Licenses automatically suspended or revoked under the compact must be immediately reinstated if the sole basis was providing reproductive health services or gender-affirming care

Compact automatically repeals if a court finds that commission rules or decisions would change physician scope of practice or unprofessional conduct definitions inconsistently with New Mexico law
