The bill presented seeks to amend the General Laws in Chapter 5-91, specifically Section 5-91-25, which pertains to the "Interstate Medical Licensure Compact." The current law includes a sunset provision that would cause the chapter to expire on July 1, 2025. The bill proposes to repeal this sunset provision, effectively removing the expiration date and allowing the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact to continue indefinitely.
The legislative language changes include the insertion of a new section title "5-91-25. Sunset of chapter. [Expires July 1, 2025.]" and the deletion of the existing text that states the chapter will expire on July 1, 2025. The explanation provided by the Legislative Council clarifies that the purpose of the act is to repeal the sunset provision of the interstate medical licensure act, and it notes that the act will take effect immediately upon passage.
