This bill allows nurses who are part of the Nurse Licensure Compact but not licensed in Minnesota to practice nursing in Minnesota during specific circumstances, such as a peacetime emergency that involves a health crisis needing more nurses. These nurses' licenses will be recognized as valid in Minnesota during such emergencies, provided they have a contract with a local healthcare provider. The healthcare provider must confirm the nurse’s license status and report to the health commissioner on the employment details of these nurses. The provision will expire if Minnesota joins the Nurse Licensure Compact fully.
