The bill amends Chapter 5-91 of the General Laws, titled "Interstate Medical Licensure Compact," by adding a new section, 5-91-26, which mandates the state to complete all necessary membership requirements for the Compact by July 1, 2025. Additionally, it introduces a new chapter, Chapter 104, under Title 23, "HEALTH AND SAFETY," which focuses on telemedicine and out-of-state medical services. This chapter ensures that all in-state residents have access to telemedicine services and allows them to receive care from out-of-state providers who comply with the registration requirements set by the Department of Health.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the Department of Health and the Office of Health Insurance Commissioner are responsible for implementing any necessary rules and regulations to facilitate these provisions. The act is designed to enhance access to healthcare through telemedicine while ensuring that out-of-state medical providers are properly registered before offering services. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
