The bill amends the Automatic Occupational Licensure for Out-of-State Licensure Act to include provisions specifically for physician assistants. It modifies Arkansas Code 17-7-106 by removing the exemption for medical professions and inserting that the chapter applies to physician assistants licensed under the relevant sections of the law.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the chapter does not apply to licensure or certification of legal professionals or individuals under reciprocity agreements, nor does it affect existing multistate or interstate compacts. This change aims to streamline the licensure process for physician assistants coming from out of state, ensuring they can practice in Arkansas under the same automatic licensure provisions that apply to other professions.
