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

The bill establishes the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact, allowing licensed respiratory therapists to practice across member states. It aims to improve public access to respiratory therapy services, enhance state cooperation, and ease administrative burdens. The compact preserves state regulatory authority and requires member states to share investigative information and adverse actions. It also establishes a commission to oversee the compact, manage a data system, and handle disputes. The compact will become effective when seven states enact it.
