Kentucky HB36 creates the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact, which aims to streamline the practice of respiratory therapy across member states. The compact allows licensed respiratory therapists to practice in other member states under a "compact privilege." It establishes a Respiratory Care Interstate Compact Commission to oversee the compact's implementation, including rulemaking, dispute resolution, and enforcement. The compact also sets forth provisions for adverse actions, data sharing, and the rights and responsibilities of member states and licensees.
