Summary
Part I of SL 2025-37 passes the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC). By joining the IMLC, there will now be an additional pathway for licensure in NC as well as a pathway for NC licensees to obtain licenses in other compact member states. The compact license is optional and only available to candidates meeting all the eligibility requirements. The traditional application process will still be in place once the IMLC is implemented. This provision of SL 2025-37 goes into effect January 1, 2026.

Additional information specific to NC implementation of the IMLC will be available closer to the effective date in January 2026.
