Interstate Medical Licensure Compact.
Status: in_force

1. The State of New Jersey enacts and enters into the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact with all other jurisdictions that legally join the compact in the form substantially as follows: Section 1. Purpose. In order to strengthen access to health care, and in recognition of the advances in the delivery of health care, the member states of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact have allied in common purpose to develop a comprehensive process that complements the existing licensing and regulatory authority of state medical boards and provides a streamlined process that allows physicians to become licensed in multiple states, thereby enhancing the portability of a medical license and ensuring the safety of patients. The compact creates another pathway for licensure and does not otherwise change a state's existing medical practice act. The compact also adopts the prevailing standard for licensure and affirms that the practice of medicine occurs where the patient is located at the time of the physician-patient encounter, and therefore requires the physician to be under the jurisdiction of the state medical board where the patient is located. State medical boards that participate in the compact retain the jurisdiction to impose an adverse action against a license to practice medicine in that state issued to a physician through the procedures in the compact.

(1) The liability of the executive director and employees of the Interstate Commission or representatives of the Interstate Commission, acting within the scope of such person's employment or duties for acts, errors, or omissions occurring within such person's state, may not exceed the limits of liability set forth under the constitution and laws of that state for state officials, employees, and agents. The Interstate Commission is considered to be an instrumentality of the states for the purposes of any such action. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to protect such person from suit or liability for damage, loss, injury, or liability caused by the intentional or willful and wanton misconduct of such person. (2) The Interstate Commission shall defend the executive director and its employees and, subject to the approval of the attorney general or other appropriate legal counsel of the member state represented by an Interstate Commission representative, shall defend such Interstate Commission representative in any civil action seeking to impose liability arising out of an actual or alleged act, error, or omission that occurred within the scope of Interstate Commission employment, duties, or responsibilities, or that the defendant had a reasonable basis for believing occurred within the scope of Interstate Commission employment, duties, or responsibilities, provided that the actual or alleged act, error, or omission did not result from intentional or willful and wanton misconduct on the part of such person.

Section 15. Rulemaking Functions of the Interstate Commission. a. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate reasonable rules in order to effectively and efficiently achieve the purposes of the Compact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Interstate Commission exercises its rulemaking authority in a manner that is beyond the scope of the purposes of the compact, or the powers granted hereunder, then such an action by the Interstate Commission shall be invalid and have no force or effect. b. Rules deemed appropriate for the operations of the Interstate Commission shall be made pursuant to a rulemaking process that substantially conforms to the "Model State Administrative Procedure Act" of 2010, and subsequent amendments thereto. c. No later than 30 days after a rule is promulgated, any person may file a petition for judicial review of the rule in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its principal offices, provided that the filing of such a petition shall not stay or otherwise prevent the rule from becoming effective unless the court finds that the petitioner has a substantial likelihood of success.

Failure to provide service of process to the Interstate Commission shall render a judgment or order void as to the Interstate Commission, the compact, or promulgated rules. Section 17. Enforcement of Interstate Compact. a. The Interstate Commission, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, shall enforce the provisions and rules of the compact. b. The Interstate Commission may, by majority vote of the commissioners, initiate legal action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, or, at the discretion of the Interstate Commission, in the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its principal offices, to enforce compliance with the provisions of the Compact, and its promulgated rules and bylaws, against a member state in default. The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. In the event judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees. c. The remedies herein shall not be the exclusive remedies of the Interstate Commission. The Interstate Commission may avail itself of any other remedies available under state law or the regulation of a profession. Section 18. Default Procedures. a. The grounds for default include, but are not limited to, failure of a member state to perform such obligations or responsibilities imposed on it by the compact or the rules and bylaws of the Interstate Commission promulgated under the compact. b. If the Interstate Commission determines that a member state has defaulted in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities under the compact, or the bylaws or promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission shall: (1) Provide written notice to the defaulting state and other member states of the nature of the default, the means of curing the default, and any action taken by the Interstate Commission. The Interstate Commission shall specify the conditions by which the defaulting state shall cure its default; and (2) Provide remedial training and specific technical assistance regarding the default. c. If the defaulting state fails to cure the default, the defaulting state shall be terminated from the compact upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the commissioners and all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by the compact shall terminate on the effective date of termination. A cure of the default does not relieve the offending state of obligations or liabilities incurred during the period of the default. d. Termination of membership in the compact shall be imposed only after all other means of securing compliance have been exhausted. Notice of intent to terminate shall be given by the Interstate Commission to the governor, the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and each of the member states. e. The Interstate Commission shall establish rules and procedures to address licenses and physicians that are materially affected by the termination of a member state or the withdrawal of a member state. f. The member state which has been terminated is responsible for all dues, obligations, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of termination, including any obligations for which the performance of the obligation extends beyond the effective date of termination. g. The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs relating to any state that has been found to be in default or which has been terminated from the compact, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and the defaulting state. h. The defaulting state may appeal the action of the Interstate Commission by petitioning the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its principal offices. The prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees. Section 19. Dispute Resolution. a. The Interstate Commission shall attempt, upon the request of a member state, to resolve disputes which are subject to the compact and which may arise among member states or member boards. b. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate rules providing for both mediation and binding dispute resolution, as appropriate. Section 20. Member States, Effective Date, and Amendment. a. Any state is eligible to become a member state of the compact. b. The compact shall become effective and binding upon legislative enactment of the compact into law by no less than seven states. Thereafter, it shall become effective and binding on a state upon enactment of the compact into law by that state. c. The governors of non-member states, or their designees, shall be invited to participate in the activities of the Interstate Compact on a non-voting basis prior to adoption of the compact by all states. d. The Interstate Commission may propose amendments to the compact for enactment by member states. No amendment shall become effective and binding upon the Interstate Commission and the member states unless and until it is enacted into law by unanimous consent of the member states. Section 21. Withdrawal. a. Once effective, the compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon each and every member state; provided that a member state may withdraw from the compact by specifically repealing the statute that enacted the compact into law. b. Withdrawal from the compact shall be by the enactment of a statute repealing the same, but shall not take effect until one year after the effective date of such statute and until written notice of the withdrawal has been given by the withdrawing state to the governor of each member state. c. The withdrawing state shall immediately notify the chairperson of the Interstate Commission in writing upon the introduction of legislation repealing the compact in the withdrawing state. d. The Interstate Commission shall notify the other member states of the withdrawing state's intent to withdraw within 60 days after receiving notice provided pursuant to subsection c. of this section. e. The withdrawing state shall be responsible for all dues, obligations, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of withdrawal, including any obligations for which the performance of the obligation extends beyond the effective date of withdrawal. f. Reinstatement following withdrawal of a member state shall occur upon the withdrawing state reenacting the compact or upon such later date as determined by the Interstate Commission. g. The Interstate Commission shall be authorized to develop rules to address the effect of withdrawal of a member state on licenses granted in other member states to physicians who designated the withdrawing member state as the state of principal licensure. Section 22. Dissolution. a. The compact shall dissolve effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the member state which reduces the membership in the compact to one member state. b. Upon the dissolution of the compact, the compact becomes null and void and shall be of no further force or effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate Commission shall be concluded and surplus finds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws. Section 23. Severability and Construction. a. The provisions of the compact shall be severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the compact shall be enforceable. b. The provisions of the compact shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes. c. Nothing in the compact shall be construed to prohibit the applicability of other interstate compacts to which the states are members. Section 24. Binding Effect of Compact and Other Laws. a. Nothing herein prevents the enforcement of any other law of a member state that is not inconsistent with the compact. b. All laws in a member state in conflict with the compact are superseded to the extent of the conflict. c. All lawful actions of the Interstate Commission, including all rules and bylaws promulgated by the Commission, are binding upon the member states. d. All agreements between the Interstate Commission and the member states are binding in accordance with their terms. e.

Status: in_force

1. All persons who are licensed to practice medicine and surgery shall be required on or before July 1 biennially to register on the form prescribed by the board and furnished by the executive director of the board, and to pay a biennial registration fee to be determined by the board. The license of any licensee who fails to procure any biennial certificate of registration, shall be automatically suspended on July 1. It shall be the duty of the executive director of the board on June 1 of each year to send a written notice to each licensee whose license is expiring that year, whether a resident or not, at his last address on file with the board, that his biennial registration fee is due on or before July 1 and that his license to practice in this State will be suspended if he does not procure said certificate by July 1 of that year. Any licensee whose license has been suspended under this section may be reinstated by the payment of all past due annual registration fees and in addition thereto a fee to be determined by the board to cover cost of reinstatement. Any person who desires to retire from the practice of medicine and surgery, and during retirement to refrain from practicing under the terms of his license, upon application to the executive director of the board, may be registered biennially, without the payment of any registration fee, as a retired physician. The certificate of registration which shall be issued to a retired physician shall state, among other things, that the holder has been licensed to practice in New Jersey, but that during his retirement he shall not so practice. The holder of a certificate of registration as a retired licensee shall be entitled to resume practice at any time; provided, he first shall have obtained from the executive director a biennial certificate of registration as hereinbefore provided. If an applicant for reinstatement of licensure has not engaged in practice in any jurisdiction for a period of more than five years, or the board's review of the reinstatement application establishes a basis for concluding that there may be clinical deficiencies in need of remediation, before reinstatement the board may require the applicant to submit to, and successfully pass, an examination or an assessment of skills. If that examination or assessment identifies clinical deficiencies or educational needs, the board may require the licensee, as a condition of reinstatement of licensure, to take and successfully complete any educational training, or to submit to any supervision, monitoring or limitations, as the board determines are necessary to assure that the licensee practices with reasonable skill and safety. The license to practice medicine and surgery of any person who fails to procure any biennial certificate of registration, or in lieu thereof a biennial certificate of registration as a retired licensee, at the time and in the manner required by this act shall be automatically suspended. Any person whose license shall have been automatically suspended shall, during the period of such suspension, be regarded as an unlicensed person and, in case he shall continue or engage in practice under the terms of his license during such period, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed by R.S.45:9-22. Any person to whom a certificate of registration as a retired licensee shall have been issued who shall continue or engage in practice under the terms of his license without first having obtained a certificate of registration authorizing him to resume such practice, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed by R.S.45:9-22 for practicing without a license. It shall be the duty of each such licensee holding a certificate to practice medicine and surgery in this State, whether a resident or not, to notify the executive director of the board in writing of any change in his office address or his employment within ten days after such change shall have taken place.
