Virginia is the seventh state to enact legislation regarding the PA Licensure Compact. The process to operationalize the compact will take anywhere from 18 to 24 months. Once operationalized, eligible PAs can then complete a single application to receive a compact privilege (which is equivalent to a license) from each compact state in which they intend to practice.

Effective July 1, 2024, PAs employed by hospitals and certain other institutions will be permitted to practice as part of a patient care team without a practice agreement as long as they have a delineation of privileges.

SB 133 (Senator Head).
