House Bill No. introduced by A. Regier seeks to adopt the Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Compact, which aims to streamline the practice of APRNs across state lines while ensuring public health and safety. The bill establishes a coordinated licensure information system to facilitate the sharing of licensure and disciplinary history among participating states, and it mandates that home state disciplinary orders affecting an APRN's multistate license include a statement indicating that the APRN's multistate licensure privilege is deactivated during the order's pendency. The legislation outlines specific requirements for obtaining and maintaining a multistate APRN license, including educational qualifications and compliance with state practice laws, while emphasizing accountability and cooperation among states.

Additionally, the bill creates the Interstate Commission of APRN Compact Administrators, which will govern the compact and manage its operations, including rule-making and compliance enforcement. The commission is granted authority to mediate disputes, intervene in legal proceedings, and terminate a state's membership if it defaults on its obligations. The compact will take effect once enacted by seven party states, and any amendments will require enactment by all party states. A new section is introduced to codify these provisions as part of Title 37, chapter 8, ensuring that if any part of the compact is deemed unconstitutional, the remaining provisions will still be valid.
