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.
