Bill > LB735

This bill adopts the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact, which establishes a framework for licensed respiratory therapists to practice in multiple states. The Compact aims to improve access to respiratory care services by allowing licensed professionals in one member state to practice in another member state under a "compact privilege," while still respecting each state's authority to regulate and protect public health. It also mandates criminal background checks for initial respiratory care practitioner licenses under the Uniform Credentialing Act and modifies existing provisions related to the practice of respiratory care to align with the Compact. The bill repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
