Status: in_force

The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Compact is hereby enacted and entered into with all other jurisdictions that legally join in the compact, which is, in form, substantially as follows:ARTICLE IFindings and Declaration of Purpose(1) The party states find that: (a) the health and safety of the public are affected by the degree of compliance with APRN licensure requirements and the effectiveness of enforcement activities related to State APRN licensure laws;(b) violations of APRN licensure and other laws regulating the practice of nursing may result in injury or harm to the public;(c) the expanded mobility of APRNs and the use of advanced communication and intervention technologies as part of our nation's health care delivery system require greater coordination and cooperation among states in the areas of APRN licensure and regulation;(d) new practice modalities and technology make compliance with individual state APRN licensure laws difficult and complex;(e) the current system of duplicative APRN licensure for APRNs practicing in multiple states is cumbersome and redundant for healthcare delivery systems, payors, state licensing boards, regulators and APRNs; and(f) uniformity of APRN licensure requirements throughout the states promotes public safety and public health benefits as well as providing a mechanism to increase access to care, particularly in rural and underserved areas.(2) The general purposes of this compact are to: (a) facilitate the states' responsibilities to protect the public's health and safety;(b) ensure and encourage the cooperation of party states in the areas of APRN licensure and regulation, including promotion of uniform licensure requirements;(c) facilitate the exchange of information between party states in the areas of APRN regulation, investigation, and adverse actions;(d) promote compliance with the laws governing APRN practice in each jurisdiction;(e) invest all party states with the authority to hold an APRN accountable for meeting all state practice laws in the state in which the patient is located at the time care is rendered through the mutual recognition of party state privileges to practice;(f) decrease redundancies in the consideration and issuance of APRN licenses; and(g) provide opportunities for interstate practice by APRNs who meet uniform licensure requirements.ARTICLE IIDefinitionsAs used in this compact:(1) "Advanced practice registered nurse" or "APRN" means a registered nurse who has gained additional specialized knowledge, skills, and experience through a program of study recognized or defined by the Interstate Commission of APRN Compact Administrators ("Commission") and who is licensed to perform advanced nursing practice.

However, the failure of such an individual to affirmatively opt for a single state license may result in the issuance of a multistate license.(6) Issuance of an APRN multistate license shall include prescriptive authority for non-controlled prescription drugs.(7) For each state in which an APRN seeks authority to prescribe controlled substances, the APRN shall satisfy all requirements imposed by such state in granting and/or renewing such authority.(8) (a) An APRN issued a multistate license is authorized to assume responsibility and accountability for patient care independent of any supervisory or collaborative relationship.(b) This authority may be exercised in the home state and in any remote state in which the APRN exercises a multistate licensure privilege.(9) (a) All party states shall be authorized, in accordance with state due process laws, to take adverse action against an APRN's multistate licensure privilege such as revocation, suspension, probation or any other action that affects an APRN's authorization to practice under a multistate licensure privilege, including cease and desist actions.(b) If a party state takes such action, it shall promptly notify the administrator of the coordinated licensure information system.(c) The administrator of the coordinated licensure information system shall promptly notify the home state of any such actions by remote states.(10) (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Compact, an APRN practicing in a party state must comply with the state practice laws of the state in which the client is located at the time service is provided.(b) APRN practice is not limited to patient care, but shall include all advanced nursing practice as defined by the state practice laws of the party state in which the client is located.(c) APRN practice in a party state under a multistate licensure privilege will subject the APRN to the jurisdiction of the licensing board, the courts, and the laws of the party state in which the client is located at the time service is provided.(11) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Compact, this Compact does not affect additional requirements imposed by states for advanced practice registered nursing.

However, the single-state license granted to these individuals will not be recognized as granting the privilege to practice as an APRN in any other party state.ARTICLE IVApplications for APRN Licensure in a Party State(1) Upon application for an APRN multistate license, the licensing board in the issuing party state shall ascertain, through the coordinated licensure information system, whether the applicant has ever held or is the holder of a licensed practical/vocational nursing license, a registered nursing license or an advanced practice registered nursing license issued by another state, whether there are any encumbrances on any license or multistate licensure privilege held by the applicant, whether any adverse action has been taken against a license or multistate licensure privilege held by the applicant, and whether the applicant is currently participating in an alternative program.(2) An APRN may hold a multistate APRN license issued by the home state, in only one party state at a time.(3) If an APRN changes primary state of residence by moving between two party states, the APRN must apply for APRN licensure in the new home state, and the multistate license issued by the prior home state shall be deactivated in accordance with applicable Commission rules.(a) The APRN may apply for licensure in advance of a change in primary state of residence.(b) A multistate APRN license shall not be issued by the new home state until the APRN provides satisfactory evidence of a change in primary state of residence to the new home state and satisfies all applicable requirements to obtain a multistate APRN license from the new home state.(4) When an APRN changes primary state of residence by moving from a party state to a non-party state, the APRN multistate license issued by the prior home state will convert to a single-state license, valid only in the former home state.ARTICLE VAdditional Authorities Invested in Party State Licensing Boards(1) In addition to the other powers conferred by state law, a licensing board shall have the authority to:(a) Take adverse action against an APRN's multistate licensure privilege to practice within that party state. (i) Only the home state shall have the power to impose adverse action against the APRN license issued by the home state.(ii) For purposes of imposing adverse action, the home state licensing board shall give the same priority and effect to reported conduct that occurred outside the home state as it would if that conduct had occurred within the home state. In so doing, it shall apply its own state laws to determine appropriate action.(b) Issue cease and desist orders or impose an encumbrance on an APRN's authority to practice within that party state.(c) Complete any pending investigations of an APRN who changes primary state of residence during the course of such investigations.
