(a) All party states shall participate in a coordinated licensure information system of
all licensed registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses/vocational nurses
(LPNs/VNs). This system will include information on the licensure and disciplinary
history of each nurse, as submitted by party states, to assist in the coordination
of nurse licensure and enforcement efforts.
(b) The commission, in consultation with the administrator of the coordinated licensure
information system, shall formulate necessary and proper procedures for the identification,
collection, and exchange of information under this compact.
(c) All licensing boards shall promptly report to the coordinated licensure information
system any adverse action, any current significant investigative information, denials
of applications (with the reasons for such denials), and nurse participation in alternative
programs known to the licensing board regardless of whether such participation is
deemed nonpublic or confidential under state law.
(d) Current significant investigative information shall be transmitted through the coordinated
licensure information system only to party state licensing boards.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all party states' licensing boards contributing
information to the coordinated licensure information system may designate information
that may not be shared with non-party states or disclosed to other entities or individuals
without the express permission of the contributing state.
(f) Any personally identifiable information obtained from the coordinated licensure information
system by a party state's licensing board shall not be shared with non-party states
or disclosed to other entities or individuals except to the extent permitted by the
laws of the party state contributing the information.
(g) Any information contributed to the coordinated licensure information system that is
subsequently required to be expunged by the laws of the party state contributing that
information, shall also be expunged from the coordinated licensure information system.
(h) The compact administrator of each party state shall furnish a uniform data set to
the compact administrator of each other party state, which shall include, at a minimum:
(1) Identifying information;
(2) Licensure data;
(3) Information related to alternative program participation; and
(4) Other information that may facilitate the administration of this compact, as determined
by commission rules.
(i) The compact administrator of a party state shall provide all investigative documents
and information requested by another party state.
