The bill amends Chapter 5-91 of the General Laws, titled "Interstate Medical Licensure Compact," by adding a new section, 5-91-26, which directs the state to complete all necessary membership requirements for the Compact by July 1, 2025. This addition underscores the state's commitment to participating in the Compact, which facilitates the licensing of medical professionals across state lines.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 104, under Title 23, titled "Telemedicine and Out-of-State Medicine." This chapter ensures that all in-state residents have access to telemedicine services in accordance with Chapter 81 of Title 27. It allows patients to receive telemedicine services, including those from out-of-state providers, pursuant to Chapter 91 of Title 5 ("Interstate Medical Licensure Compact"). Additionally, it empowers the Department of Health and the Office of Health Insurance Commissioner to implement necessary rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this section. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
