Overview
The act regulates the practice of respiratory care by requiring a license to practice, subject to specified exceptions. It vests administration in the state medical board, working with a respiratory care examining committee, and establishes the mechanics of licensure — applicant qualifications and examination, fees, issuance and recording, temporary permits, reciprocity and recognition of out-of-state licenses, annual registration, and continuing education — along with the role of a medical director. It also sets grounds and procedures for denying, suspending, or revoking a license, and backs the licensing requirement with penalties and injunctive relief.
