HB 2390 would allow qualified respiratory therapists to obtain a compact privilege to practice in Pennsylvania and other participating states without unnecessary licensing delays.
The RCIC can help:
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:0in;">Strengthen Pennsylvania's respiratory care workforce</li>
<li style="margin-left:0in;">Improve access to qualified respiratory therapists</li>
<li style="margin-left:0in;">Support workforce mobility and emergency preparedness</li>
<li style="margin-left:0in;">Preserve Pennsylvania's authority over scope of practice, professional standards, and patient protection</li>
</ul>
The Compact does not create a national license. Respiratory therapists practicing in Pennsylvania through the RCIC must follow Pennsylvania law and its scope of practice.
Take action today. Ask your state representative to cosponsor and support HB 2390.&nbsp;

Help Bring the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact to Pennsylvania

As your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor and support HB 2390, the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC).

The RCIC will help strengthen Pennsylvania's healthcare workforce by providing qualified respiratory therapists with a streamlined pathway to practice across participating states.

Importantly, the Compact preserves Pennsylvania's authority over respiratory care practice, scope of practice, and patient protection. It does not create a national license or eliminate state oversight.

Please cosponsor HB 2390 and support its passage during the 2026 legislative session.

Thank you for supporting Pennsylvania patients and the respiratory care workforce.
