The Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC)

House Bill 2533 passed and was signed by the Governor on Thursday, April 9, 2026!

This is a real initiative that allows licensed respiratory therapists to practice in multiple states without obtaining individual licenses for each, though it is a new compact still in the process of being adopted by states.

Kansas Legislative Day

The KRCS holds a “Kansas Legislative Day” each session, usually in February. We set up educational displays, offer spirometry screenings, and visit members of the House Health and Human Services Committee and the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee. We give out information packets about Respiratory Care and the KRCS. This day is a great chance to meet with State Legislators.

All KRCS members are welcome to join.
