District of Columbia · 2025-2026 Regular Session
As introduced, Bill 26-69 would authorize the Mayor to enter, on behalf of the District, the Nurse Licensure Compact to permit licensed registered and licensed practical/vocational nurses in party states to practice in the District and for multistate licensed nurses in the District to practice in other party states. It would standardize minimum requirements for education and training for participating compact nurses and also establish requirements for the administration of interstate licenses to join the compact licensure information system. It establishes the Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators and also allows the Board of Nursing to charge an additional fee for the issuance of a multistate license. Hospitals that employ nurses must report the number of multistate license holding nurses to the Board of Nursing.
