Interstate Licensure Compact for Physician Assistants Established
This proposed bill would establish an interstate licensure compact for physician assistants in Alabama. Before this change, physician assistants needed to obtain separate licenses in each state they wished to practice in. If enacted, the new law would allow physician assistants licensed in one member state of the compact to work in any other member state without obtaining additional state-specific licenses. This change affects physician assistants who wish to practice across state lines and may streamline their ability to do so. The effective date is not specified.
