LB735

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

Nebraska LB735 proposes to adopt the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact, enabling respiratory therapists licensed in one state to practice in others. The compact aims to improve public access to respiratory therapy services, enhance state cooperation, and support military members and their spouses. It establishes a commission to oversee the compact, manage a data system, and handle dispute resolution. States participating in the compact must enact similar legislation, participate in the commission's data system, and report adverse actions against licensees.
