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 implement the Compact and complete all necessary membership requirements by July 1, 2026. This ensures the state's participation in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, facilitating easier access for medical professionals to practice across state lines.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 104, under Title 23, titled "Telemedicine and Out-of-State Medicine." This chapter guarantees 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. The Department of Health and the Office of Health Insurance Commissioner are tasked with implementing necessary rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this section. The act will take effect upon passage.
