     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

                  SENATE, No. 3157

 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                   DATED: JANUARY 26, 2023

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 3157.
    This bill adds language to current law governing the licensure of
respiratory therapists that allows the passage of the Certified
Respiratory Therapist examination, offered by the National Board for
Respiratory Care (“NBRC”) or any successor organization, to qualify
an individual for licensure by the State Board of Respiratory Care.
Presently, the law only recognizes passage of the Registered
Respiratory Therapist Examination offered by the NBRC to qualify for
licensure. Forty-seven other states recognize the passage of the
Certified Respiratory Therapist examination as qualifying applicants
for licensure, so this bill would conform New Jersey’s respiratory
therapist requirements to most states in the country. Additionally,
widening the options for the examinations an individual can take to
qualify as a respiratory therapist will help address shortages in that
profession in New Jersey.
