448.988(4)(c)(c) Once a restricted or limited license satisfies the requirements of par. (b) 1. and 2., the licensee must meet the requirements of par. (a) to obtain a compact privilege in any remote state.

448.988(4)(d)(d) For each remote state in which a PA seeks authority to prescribe controlled substances, the PA shall satisfy all requirements imposed by such state in granting or renewing such authority.

448.988(5)(5) Designation of the state from which licensee is applying for a compact privilege. Upon a licensee’s application for a compact privilege, the licensee shall identify to the commission the participating state from which the licensee is applying, in accordance with applicable rules adopted by the commission, and subject to the following requirements:

448.988(5)(a)(a) When applying for a compact privilege, the licensee shall provide the commission with the address of the licensee’s primary residence and thereafter shall immediately report to the commission any change in the address of the licensee’s primary residence.

448.988(5)(b)(b) When applying for a compact privilege, the licensee is required to consent to accept service of process by mail at the licensee’s primary residence on file with the commission with respect to any action brought against the licensee by the commission or a participating state, including a subpoena, with respect to any action brought or investigation conducted by the commission or a participating state.

448.988(6)(a)(a) A participating state in which a licensee is licensed shall have exclusive power to impose adverse action against the qualifying license issued by that participating state.

448.988(6)(b)(b) In addition to the other powers conferred by state law, a remote state shall have the authority, in accordance with existing state due process law, to do all of the following:

448.988(6)(b)1.1. Take adverse action against a PA’s compact privilege within that state to remove a licensee’s compact privilege or take other action necessary under applicable law to protect the health and safety of its citizens.

448.988(6)(b)2.2. Issue subpoenas for both hearings and investigations that require the attendance and testimony of witnesses as well as the production of evidence. Subpoenas issued by a licensing board in a participating state for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of evidence from another participating state shall be enforced in the latter state by any court of competent jurisdiction, according to the practice and procedure of that court applicable to subpoenas issued in proceedings pending before it. The issuing authority shall pay any witness fees, travel expenses, mileage and other fees required by the service statutes of the state in which the witnesses or evidence are located.

448.988(6)(b)3.3. Notwithstanding subd. 2., subpoenas may not be issued by a participating state to gather evidence of conduct in another state that is lawful in that other state for the purpose of taking adverse action against a licensee’s compact privilege or application for a compact privilege in that participating state.

448.988(6)(b)4.4. Nothing in this compact authorizes a participating state to impose discipline against a PA’s compact privilege or to deny an application for a compact privilege in that participating state for the individual’s otherwise lawful practice in another state.

448.988(6)(c)(c) For purposes of taking adverse action, the participating state which issued the qualifying license shall give the same priority and effect to reported conduct received from any other participating state as it would if the conduct had occurred within the participating state which issued the qualifying license. In so doing, that participating state shall apply its own state laws to determine appropriate action.

448.988(6)(d)(d) A participating state, if otherwise permitted by state law, may recover from the affected PA the costs of investigations and disposition of cases resulting from any adverse action taken against that PA.

448.988(6)(e)(e) A participating state may take adverse action based on the factual findings of a remote state, provided that the participating state follows its own procedures for taking the adverse action.

448.988(6)(f)1.1. In addition to the authority granted to a participating state by its respective state PA laws and regulations or other applicable state law, any participating state may participate with other participating states in joint investigations of licensees.

448.988(6)(f)2.2. Participating states shall share any investigative, litigation, or compliance materials in furtherance of any joint or individual investigation initiated under this compact.

448.988(6)(g)(g) If an adverse action is taken against a PA’s qualifying license, the PA’s compact privilege in all remote states shall be deactivated until two (2) years have elapsed after all restrictions have been removed from the state license. All disciplinary orders by the participating state which issued the qualifying license that impose adverse action against a PA’s license shall include a statement that the PA’s compact privilege is deactivated in all participating states during the pendency of the order.

448.988(7)(a)(a) The participating states hereby create and establish a joint government agency and national administrative body known as the PA licensure compact commission. The commission is an instrumentality of the compact states acting jointly and not an instrumentality of any one state. The commission shall come into existence on or after the effective date of the compact as set forth in sub. (11) (a).

448.988(7)(b)1.1. Each participating state shall have and be limited to one (1) delegate selected by that participating state’s licensing board or, if the state has more than one licensing board, selected collectively by the participating state’s licensing boards.

448.988(7)(b)2.2. The delegate shall be either:

448.988(7)(b)3.3. Any delegate may be removed or suspended from office as provided by the laws of the state from which the delegate is appointed.
