AN ACT relating to interstate licensure compacts.

This bill joins Kentucky to a multistate agreement that allows respiratory care professionals licensed in one member state to more easily practice in other member states without getting a separate license in each one. It sets up rules for how that shared licensing works, including oversight through a new interstate commission. For active military members, the bill includes a special provision to ensure their home state license stays recognized. Who it may affect: respiratory care professionals, active military members working in health care, and patients who rely on respiratory care services.
