Effect of obtaining a license in new home state when both states are
party states; effect on license when moving from a nonparty state
to a party state
Sec. 4. (a) If a nurse:
(1) changes primary state of residence by moving between two
(2) party states; and
(2) obtains a license from the new home state;
the license from the former home state is no longer valid.
(b) If a nurse:
(1) changes primary state of residence by moving from a
nonparty state to a party state; and
(2) obtains a license from the new home state;
the individual state license issued by the nonparty state is not
affected and remains in force if provided by the laws of the nonparty
state.
(c) If a nurse changes primary state of residence by moving from
a party state to a nonparty state, the license issued by the prior home
state converts to an individual state license, valid only in the former
home state, without multistate licensure privilege to practice in other
party states.
