2026 PA Compact Status Map

This map shows the current status of the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, an interstate agreement that allows PAs to practice more easily across state lines by recognizing a valid license from another Compact member state. For Urgent Care, the PA Compact supports workforce flexibility, helps address staffing shortages, and improves patient access, particularly for multi‑state operators and communities with limited provider availability.

The map, courtesy of pacompact.org, highlights which states have enacted the Compact and where legislation is still pending, offering a clear snapshot of where license portability for PAs stands nationwide.
