It mandates the development of a coordinated data system for licensure information and outlines the rulemaking authority of the commission, with rules having the force of law in member states. The bill also addresses the consequences for member states that default on their obligations, including possible termination of membership, and provides for dispute resolution and enforcement. Lastly, the bill includes provisions for the compact's operation in case parts are found unconstitutional, the relationship between the compact and state laws, and the effective date of October 1, 2024.
