116-hr-8723 116 hr 8723 To condition receipt of State funding from the Bureau of Health Workforce on adoption by the State of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, and for other purposes. Health 2020-10-30 2020-10-30 Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. House Rep. Yoho, Ted S. [R-FL-3] FL R Y000065 5 This bill requires states and physician licensing boards to promote interstate medical practice and interstate telemedicine, respectively. It does this by adding conditions to certain funding managed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Specifically, to receive funding from HRSA's Bureau of Health Workforce, states must join the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact within three years. This compact expedites multistate licensing of qualified physicians. Additionally, to receive certain grants to address barriers to telemedicine, physician licensing boards must carry out campaigns to encourage interstate telemedicine use by specialists. The bill also reauthorizes these grants from FY2021-FY2025. 2023-01-11T13:44:27Z
