The proposed bill establishes a Nurse Licensure Compact in Minnesota, enabling nurses to practice across state lines with a multistate license. It details the licensure process, including requirements such as criminal background checks and educational qualifications, and outlines the responsibilities of licensing boards in party states, including the authority to take adverse actions against nurses' licenses and the requirement to report these actions to a coordinated licensure information system. The bill emphasizes compliance with state practice laws and allows for the exchange of licensure and disciplinary information among party states to enhance enforcement and public safety.

Additionally, the bill creates the Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators, which will consist of one administrator from each party state responsible for voting on rules, ensuring compliance, and managing operations. The commission is granted powers to bring legal actions, hire personnel, and accept donations, while also providing qualified immunity for its members. The bill outlines a process for challenging revisions to rules and specifies that existing state labor laws are not superseded by the compact. It includes an appropriation for the Board of Nursing to implement the new provisions, with an effective date set for July 1, 2025.
