The compact creates a Commission made up of two representatives from each adopting state. Commissioners must be either: A physician member of a medical or osteopathic physician licensing board A public member of such a board An executive director or administrator of such a board If a state has only one medical board, then both Commissioners must come from that board. But if it has two boards, a medical board, and an osteopathic board, then each board gets one seat. Only the Commission can enforce the IMLC through its bylaws, rules, policies, and advisory opinions. No other governmental agency or private entity has control over how the IMLC is implemented.
