West Virginia Code
Article 60. Recognition of Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact
§16-60-8. Adverse Actions

(a) A home state has exclusive power to impose adverse action against an individuals license issued by the home state.
(b) If an individuals license in any home state is restricted or suspended, the individual may not be eligible to practice in a remote state under the privilege to practice until the individuals home state license is restored.
(1) All home state adverse action orders shall include a statement that the individuals Compact privileges are inactive. The order may allow the individual to practice in remote states with prior written authorization from both the home state and remote states EMS authority.
(2) An individual currently subject to adverse action in the home state may not practice in any remote state without prior written authorization from both the home state and remote states EMS authority.
(c) A member state shall report adverse actions and any occurrences where the individuals Compact privileges are restricted, suspended, or revoked to the Commission in accordance with the rules of the Commission.
(d) A remote state may take adverse action on an individuals privilege to practice within that state.
(e) Any member state may take adverse action against an individuals privilege to practice in that state based on the factual findings of another member state, so long as each state follows its own procedures for imposing such adverse action.
(f) A home states EMS authority shall investigate and take such appropriate action with respect to reported conduct in a remote state as it would if such conduct had occurred within the home state. In such cases, the home states law shall control in determining the appropriate adverse action.
(g) Nothing in this Compact may override a member states decision that participation in an alternative program may be used in lieu of adverse action and that such participation shall remain nonpublic if required by the member states laws. Member states must require individuals who enter any alternative programs to agree not to practice in any other member state during the term of the alternative program without prior authorization from such other member state.
