March 19 2025 MI House HPOL: it's OK to take Eye drops home (!), PT license compact, OT license compact

Not one, not two, but four (4) interstate licensing compact bills in this agenda!

Wait, what? Didn't freedom-loving adults re-take the Michigan House? Did they forget to install new leadership in the Health Policy Committee?

This is so confusing, I double-checked the legislative website. There's the GOP-majority committee chaired by Curt VanderWall, who's old enough to know better. Especially after chairing the Senate Health Policy Committee in a previous term.

All we can do is tell them again - stop digging The Swamp Deeper with healthcare compacts.

There's a better way to achieve interstate license reciprocity. It's called interstate reciprocity, or the new and improved universal licensing, already passed in many states.
