Establishes the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact to facilitate interstate practice of respiratory therapy.

The Respiratory Care Interstate Compact aims to streamline the practice of respiratory therapy across member states, enhancing public access to services. It allows licensed respiratory therapists to practice in other member states under certain conditions, such as holding an active home state license and passing a criminal background check. The compact establishes a commission to oversee its administration, including rulemaking, data system maintenance, and dispute resolution.
