An Act To Adopt the Uniform Emergency Volunteer Health Practitioners Act
 
CONCEPT DRAFT SUMMARY
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.
This bill seeks to adopt the Uniform Emergency Volunteer Health Practitioners Act to provide a procedure for recognizing licenses granted by other states to health care practitioners who volunteer to provide assistance in this State during an emergency. The bill proposes to create a registration system that health care practitioners licensed in other states may use either before or during an emergency. Upon registration, a health care practitioner would be permitted to contribute that practitioner’s professional skills to emergency relief efforts.
