PA Interstate Licensure Compact Has Been Signed!
Great news! Governor Polis signed the PA Compact Bill (SB24-18) on Friday, May 17. Making Colorado the 10th state to join the PA Licensure Compact. “The Colorado Academy of Physician Associates is so proud of our state in its passing of the licensure compact bill,” said CAPA president Kellie Webber. “We especially want to thank our bill sponsors, our lobbyist, and all those who stepped up to educate lawmakers on the importance of this bill. We look forward to joining our fellow compact states in this groundbreaking feat towards PA modernization in Colorado and continue to strive for the best patient care possible.”
The PA Interstate Licensure Compact will reduce time and cost burdens for PAs who need interstate licenses, like those who practice across state lines or in telemedicine. The compact will expand employment opportunities for PAs in new markets and increase access to care for our patients. Check out the Bill Fact Sheet!
CAPA will update our members as the bill moves through Colorado’s legislative process!
Stay Tuned! More to come!
