Notwithstanding any other powers, party state nurse licensing boards may do any of the following:
(1) If otherwise permitted by state law, recover from licensees the costs of investigating and disposing of cases that result in adverse action.
(2) Issue subpoenas for both hearings and investigations that require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence. Subpoenas issued by a nurse licensing board in a party state for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of evidence from another party state shall be enforced in the other party state by any court of competent jurisdiction according to the practice and procedure of that court. The issuing authority shall pay any witness fees, travel expenses, mileage, and other fees required by the laws of the party state where the witnesses or evidence are located.
(3) Issue cease and desist orders to limit or revoke a licensee's authority to practice in the board's state.
(4) Adopt uniform rules and regulations that are developed by the Compact administrators as provided in G.S. 90-171.89(c). (1999-245, s. 1.)
