Drain the Swamp, this bill does not.
Wednesday, February 12, 2025 9:00 AM
AGENDA
Organizational Meeting
HB 4032 (Rep. Linting)
Health occupations: physicians; interstate medical licensure compact; remove sunset.
OR ANY BUSINESS PROPERLY BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE
Instead of removing the sunset, the law should be repealed. Even Mackinac Center now advocates for state reciprocity instead.
I covered Michigan compact history, swampy special interests, and core principles a few years ago in this long form blog post. Bottom line: Compacts for health licenses are unconstitutional and anti-freedom.
https://mihealthfreedom.org/compacts/
... licensing compacts further advance globalization of healthcare. In addition, a Physician Assistant compact bill is reportedly back in the legislature.
Centralized control of professional licensing advances population care and puts your healthcare freedoms at risk.
License Compacts: a Lansing timeline
Three compacts represents a rapid increase in Michigan health professions empowering new regulators called compact commissions.
- In 2018, MI physicians accepted the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact as part of “a crummy deal” to curb manipulative certification practices.
- The enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) bill passed the legislature in 2020 and was vetoed by the governor. It was recently reintroduced after going nowhere last term.
- The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) became law in 2022.
I researched and testified against the eNLC on behalf of Michigan Healthcare Freedom on April 11, 2019. Other compact provisions follow a similar pattern: Miichigan joins a nationwide compact, governed by an independent commission with rulemaking, data collection, and fee assessment authority, with an annual fee ($6000) paid by Michigan taxpayers.
Distancing rule-making power from clinicians and their elected state officials suppresses free choices and constitutional, representative government.
Who gets to decide healthcare?
A major tenet of progressivism is the rule of experts. With compact bills, academic and corporate experts seek more control over clinicians through standardization.
In contrast, those who believe in self-governance value individual autonomy as vital to front-line healthcare innovation.

Meanwhile, the Michigan Senate has passed the equivalent bill, SB 60, with zero dissent.
The proof of Michigan Legislature health freedom savvy is up for grabs when it hits the House.
