STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28139 / S1016
This legislation completely reworks and updates the Respiratory Therapy Practice Act, which was enacted in
1992 and last updated in 2003. The Board aligned the Act better with current respiratory practice, streamlined
the Act significantly, deleted outdated and redundant language, removed barriers to licensure for applicants,
and provided a clearer, more efficient, and well-drafted Act to guide the licensure, regulation and practice of
Respiratory Therapists and Polysomnographers.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact of this legislation on the State's General Fund and the Board's Dedicated Fund.
