Introduced
by
To establish a multi-state nurse licensure compact. Member states would honor each others nurse’s licenses, and the sanctions imposed for the violation by a nurse of laws and regulations in one state would carry over to the other states in the compact. The compact would have a coordinated licensure information system to promulgate information about enforcement actions against an individual in one state to the other member states.
