Introduced by: John M. O'Bannon, III | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health professions; multistate nursing compact. Authorizes Virginia's membership in a multistate nursing compact that provides the structure for the reciprocal recognition of other states' licenses to practice as a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse. The compact also provides for each state's autonomy in setting licensure standards for the persons licensed in their home state as well as in disciplinary proceedings. The bill would provide for a data collection system and increased interaction between party states to help in health care management as well as to provide an effective screening tool for persons who are changing residence and wish to practice nursing in a state that is a party to the compact. The bill has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2005.
