§ 1647f. Coordinated licensure information system

• (a) All party states shall participate in a coordinated licensure information system of
  all licensed RNs and 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, 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 and participation in nonpublic or confidential
  alternative programs shall be transmitted through the coordinated licensure information
  system only to party state licensing boards. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all party state 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 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. (Added 2021, No. 64, § 1, eff. Feb. 1, 2022.)
