Introduced Session

This bill establishes the respiratory care interstate compact. The compact establishes a system whereby a respiratory therapist licensed to practice in one participating state may practice in another participating state under a compact privilege without applying for a license in that state. The compact imposes certain minimum requirements on the licensure of respiratory therapists in participating states. The compact creates a commission to administer the operation of the compact. The commission is an instrumentality of the participating states. The compact includes provisions relating to the establishment and membership of the commission; powers of the commission; meetings and voting requirements of the H.F. _____ commission; commission bylaws and rules; commission committees; commission finances; the establishment of a data system; compacting state compliance; venue for judicial proceedings; defense and indemnification; effective dates and amendments to the compact; withdrawal, default, and expulsion; severability and construction; and the binding effect of the compact and other laws. The compact becomes effective upon the adoption of the compact by the seventh participating state.
