ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), and National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) announce that a licensure compact for physician assistants (PAs) was activated by the recent signing of legislation in Virginia.

弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市，2024年4月5日（环球通讯社）--美国医师协会学会（AAPA），州医学委员会联合会（FSMB）和国家医师助理认证委员会（NCCPA）宣布，弗吉尼亚州最近签署的立法激活了医师助理许可协议（PA）。

With the signing of HB324 by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, seven states have adopted the PA Compact Model Legislation, the requirement to activate the compact. The PA Compact is an interstate occupational licensure compact for PAs. Interstate compacts are a constitutionally authorized, legally binding, legislatively enacted contract among participating states.

随着弗吉尼亚州州长格伦·扬金（GlennYoungkin）签署HB324，七个州已经通过了《巴勒斯坦权力机构契约》示范立法，这是激活该契约的要求。PA契约是PA的州际职业许可契约。州际契约是参与国之间经宪法授权、具有法律约束力、通过立法制定的合同。

AAPA, FSMB, and NCCPA have partnered in recent years to establish a compact for PAs, working closely with PA state organizations to advocate for passage of the model legislation. Technical support for this work has also been provided by The Council of State Governments (CSG). States joining the compact agree to recognize a valid, unencumbered license issued by another compact member state via a compact privilege.

近年来，AAPA、FSMB和NCCPA合作建立了PA契约，与PA国家组织密切合作，倡导通过示范立法。州政府委员会（CSG）也为这项工作提供了技术支持。加入契约的国家同意承认另一契约成员国通过契约特权颁发的有效、无阻碍的许可证。

Licensed PAs utilizing the compact can obtain a privilege in each compact member state where they want to practice. PAs using a compact privilege to practice in another state must adhere to laws and regulations of practice in that state and are under the jurisdiction of the state’s regulatory board in which they are practicing.

使用契约的许可PA可以在他们想要练习的每个契约成员国获得特权。使用契约特权在另一个州执业的PA必须遵守该州的执业法律法规，并受其执业所在州监管委员会的管辖。

The model legislation was released in November 2022, and by close of 2023 three states, Delaware, Utah, and Wisconsin, had enacted the PA Licensure Compact. In 2024, West Virginia, Washington, Nebraska, and Virginia followed. In addition, PA Licensure Compact legislation is currently pending in 11 states.

示范立法于2022年11月发布，到2023年底，特拉华州、犹他州和威斯康星州三个州已经颁布了《PA许可协议》。2024年，西弗吉尼亚州、华盛顿州、内布拉斯加州和弗吉尼亚州紧随其后。此外，目前有11个州正在等待PA许可协议立法。
