OR HB3060

Oregon would join the PA Licensure Compact, allowing physician assistants licensed in other participating states to practice in Oregon through a "compact privilege" without obtaining a separate Oregon license

PAs seeking compact privilege must hold current NCCPA certification, have no felony or misdemeanor convictions, have no revoked licenses, and meet jurisprudence requirements of the remote state where they seek to practice

The compact creates the PA Licensure Compact Commission, a joint interstate agency with authority to establish rules, maintain a data system tracking licensees and adverse actions, and levy annual assessments on participating states

The Oregon Medical Board must review and adopt Commission rules before they apply in Oregon, and the board may use funds from its account to meet financial obligations from compact participation

The compact becomes effective on the 91st day after legislative session ends, with provisions becoming operative January 1, 2026, and the compact itself activates when seven states have enacted it
