Compact Licensure Progress

The Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC) is gaining momentum, and the AARC is helping advance this crucial licensure initiative. Learn more and act today! Let’s make interstate respiratory care licensure a reality!

Washington was the first state to introduce Compact legislation, paving the way for Montana, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Idaho, Michigan, and Nebraska, all of which are making progress. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is actively seeking a legislative sponsor, and Nebraska and Kansas have promising prospects for introduction in 2026.
