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

The Respiratory Care Interstate Compact aims to improve public access to respiratory therapy services by allowing licensed therapists to practice in other member states. The compact preserves states' regulatory authority to protect public health and safety. It establishes a commission to oversee the compact, which includes powers to promulgate rules, collect fees, and maintain a data system. Member states must license respiratory therapists, participate in the commission's data system, and report adverse actions. Active military members and their spouses are exempt from certain fees.
