The Physician Assistant Compact Commission will have its inaugural meeting in September 2024. This meeting will allow State delegates to adopt initial bylaws and rules to carry out the Compact. The Commission will also create an interstate licensure data system to allow for verification of a practitioner's good standing and sharing of disciplinary information among member states.
This activation process generally takes between 12-18 months or longer.
