Compact Licensure
AARC is thrilled to announce that 2025 marks the launch of state advocacy efforts for the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC). This groundbreaking initiative, developed in collaboration with the Council of State Governments and the Department of Defense, aims to streamline licensure for respiratory therapists across participating states, enhancing patient care and workforce mobility.
Georgia is working on this!
Compact licensure allows respiratory therapists (RTs) to practice across state lines without needing to obtain individual licenses for each state, as long as those states are part of the licensure compact. Congrats to our fellow affiliates Washington and Alabama that now have compact licensure in their states!

Georgia is on it
Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC) is continuing to gain steam; we only need three more states to make the RCIC a reality! We are helping AARC advance this crucial licensure initiative. Learn more and act today to get your state on the RCIC map!
Current GSRC President Amy Owens and Past President Nancy Guyse traveled to Washington, D.C. to represent Georgia and gather the latest updates on compact licensure. GSRC is committed to keeping our membership informed and advocating for initiatives that benefit respiratory therapists across the state.
