Louisiana Enacts Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact
June 11, 2018
Louisiana became the 31st state in the nation to enact the Enhanced Nurse Licensure
Compact (eNLC) on May 31, 2018 when Governor John Bel Edwards signed Senate Bill 202 into law. The
state has 6 months from enactment to implement the eNLC. Our planned implementation date is
December 1, 2018. However, that date may be extended due to its occurrence during our normal renewal
cycle. We will keep you updated through our website. Until implementation, LPNs licensed in Louisiana
hold single state licenses, not Compact multistate licenses and are not authorized to practice in any
other state by virtue of their Louisiana single state license. Additionally, nurses wishing to
practice in Louisiana who hold Compact multistate licenses from another state must still apply for
a Louisiana single state license.
