What an alternative licensure pathway is

Several states have created a licence that does not require repeating a US residency. They are not the same as each other, and none of them is a shortcut — each substitutes a different set of conditions for the residency requirement.

Which states this affects

The answer depends on where you trained and what you have already done, so the useful version of this page is the one that reads your own circumstances.

That version is not published yet. No state has been read and signed off, so there is nothing yet to check your circumstances against — how the reference is built explains what has to happen first.
