North Dakota § 43-17.5-04

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 43: Occupations and Professions
• Ch. 43-17.5: Physician Assistant Licensure Compact

Text

1. To exercise the compact privilege, a licensee shall:
a. Have graduated from a physician assistant program accredited by the
accreditation review commission on education for the physician assistant or other
program authorized by commission rule;
b. Hold current national commission on certification of physician assistants'
certification;
c. Have no felony or misdemeanor conviction;
d. Have never had a controlled substance license, permit, or registration suspended
or revoked by a state or by the United States drug enforcement administration;
e. Have a unique identifier as determined by commission rule;
f. Hold a qualifying license;
g. Have had no revocation of a license or limitation or restriction on any license
currently held due to an adverse action, or if a licensee had a limitation or
restriction on a license or compact privilege due to an adverse action, two years
has elapsed from the date on which the license or compact privilege is no longer
limited or restricted due to the adverse action, or if a compact privilege has been
revoked or is limited or restricted in a participating state for conduct that would
not be a basis for disciplinary action in a participating state in which the licensee
is practicing or applying to practice under a compact privilege, that participating
state may not consider such action as an adverse action requiring the denial or
removal of a compact privilege in that state;
h. Notify the compact commission that the licensee is seeking the compact privilege
in a remote state;
i. Meet any jurisprudence requirement of a remote state in which the licensee is
seeking to practice under the compact privilege and pay any fees applicable to
satisfying the jurisprudence requirement; and
j. Report to the commission any adverse action taken by a nonparticipating state
within thirty days after the action is taken.
2. The compact privilege is valid until the expiration or revocation of the qualifying license
unless terminated pursuant to an adverse action. The licensee shall comply with the
requirements of subsection 1 to maintain the compact privilege in a remote state. If the
participating state takes adverse action against a qualifying license, the licensee loses
the compact privilege in any remote state in which the licensee has a compact
privilege until all of the following occur:
a. The license is no longer limited or restricted; and
b. Two years have elapsed from the date on which the license is no longer limited or
restricted due to the adverse action.
3. Once a restricted or limited license satisfies the requirements of subsection 2, the
licensee shall meet the requirements of subsection 1 to obtain a compact privilege in
any remote state.
4. For each remote state in which a physician assistant seeks authority to prescribe
controlled substances, the physician assistant shall satisfy all requirements imposed
by such state in granting or renewing such authority.
