§ 23-27.1-08 — Adverse actions

North Dakota § 23-27.1-08

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 23: Health and Safety
• Ch. 23-27.1: Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact

Text

1. A home state shall have exclusive power to impose adverse action against an
individual's license issued by the home state.
2. If an individual's license in any home state is restricted or suspended, the individual is
not eligible to practice in a remote state under the privilege to practice until the
individual's home state license is restored.
a. All home state adverse action orders must include a statement that the
individual's compact privileges are inactive. The order may allow the individual to
practice in remote states with prior written authorization from both the home state
and remote state's emergency medical services authority.
b. An individual currently subject to adverse action in the home state may not
practice in any remote state without prior written authorization from both the
home state and remote state's emergency medical services authority.
3. A member state shall report adverse actions and any occurrences that the individual's
compact privileges are restricted, suspended, or revoked to the commission in
accordance with the rules of the commission.
4. A remote state may take adverse action on an individual's privilege to practice within
that state.
5. Any member state may take adverse action against an individual's privilege to practice
in the member state based on the factual findings of another member state, so long as
each state follows its own procedures for imposing such adverse action.
6. A home state's emergency medical services authority shall investigate and take
appropriate action with respect to reported conduct in a remote state as it would if
such conduct had occurred within the home state. In such cases, the home state's law
shall control in determining the appropriate adverse action.
7. Nothing in this compact may override a member state's decision that participation in an
alternative program may be used in lieu of adverse action and that such participation
must remain nonpublic if required by the member state's laws. Member states must
require individuals who enter any alternative programs to agree not to practice in any
other member state during the term of the alternative program without prior
authorization from such other member state.
