HI HB 2286: RELATING TO THE PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT LICENSURE COMPACT.
Summary
Hawaii HB 2286 would authorize the Governor to enter the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, creating a streamlined multistate licensing process for PAs that complements the existing state medical board authority. The bill has been referred to the Health, Labor, Commerce, and Finance committees. No enactment has occurred.
What this may mean
If enacted, Hawaii-licensed PAs would gain access to expedited licensure in other compact member states, and out-of-state PAs could more readily obtain Hawaii licensure. The bill does not alter billing, reimbursement, or fraud-and-abuse requirements.
