Health professions; Nurse Licensure Compact. Replaces the current Nurse Licensure Compact to which Virginia is a party with a revised version. The current Nurse Licensure Compact is a multistate nursing compact that provides the structure for the reciprocal recognition of other states' licenses to practice as a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse. The revised compact, among other changes, adds recognition of other states' licenses to practice as a licensed vocational nurse. The bill becomes effective upon adoption of the Nurse Licensure Compact by 26 states or on December 31, 2018, whichever occurs first. The bill repeals the current Nurse Licensure Compact, Article 6 (§ 54.1-3030 et seq.) of Chapter 30 of Title 54.1, effective on the date the new compact becomes effective. The bill also provides that the Virginia Nurses Association may request that the General Assembly reconsider the Nurse Licensure Compact if its constituency becomes dissatisfied with the Compact's provisions.

Nurse Licensure Compact; current Compact replaced with a revised version.
