Letter to Governors on Recent or Impending Expiration of Licensure Flexibilities for Care Across State Lines

AGB joined over 230 organizations in sending a letter to Governors across the country to maintain and expand licensure flexibilities throughout the federal public health emergency. During the public health emergency, governors across the country used emergency authority to waive some aspects of state licensure requirements to facilitate greater patient access to care, allowing providers more flexibility to treat patients across state lines. However, over the past few months, many states have allowed such flexibilities to expire along with the expiration of COVID-19 emergency declarations, leading to a reduction in access to vital care as the pandemic continues.
