HSB 120: Enacting the respiratory care interstate compact

What it does

This bill establishes the respiratory care interstate compact. The compact establishes a system whereby a respiratory therapist licensed to practice in one participating state may practice in another participating state under a compact privilege without applying for a license in that state. The compact imposes certain minimum requirements on the licensure of respiratory therapists in participating states. The compact creates a commission to administer the operation of the compact. The commission is an instrumentality of the participating states.
