Read the official explanation
This bill establishes the interstate podiatric medical licensure compact. The compact establishes a system whereby a podiatrist licensed to practice in one participating state may receive an expedited license to practice in another participating state. The compact imposes certain minimum requirements on the licensure of podiatrists in participating states. The compact creates a commission to administer the operation of the compact. The commission is an instrumentality of the participating states. The compact includes provisions relating to the establishment and membership of the commission; powers of the commission; meetings and voting requirements of the commission; commission bylaws and rules; commission committees; commission finances; the establishment of a data system; compacting state compliance; venue for judicial proceedings; defense and indemnification; effective dates and amendments to the compact; withdrawal, default, and expulsion; severability and construction; and the binding effect of the compact and other laws. The compact becomes effective upon the adoption of the compact by the fourth participating state.
