; The petition seeks the Board’s interpretation of Chapter 468, Part V, Florida Statutes, Rules 64B32-5.001 and 64B32-5.003, Florida Administrative Code, and whether a licensed Certified Respiratory Therapist and Licensed Respiratory Therapist certified on or after July 1, 2002 by the National Board for Respiratory Care, Inc. (NBRC) is required to maintain credentials issued by the NBRC as part of the continuing competency program; whether a Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) or Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) may use another designation (e.g. Respiratory Care Practitioner Therapist (RCP) even though there is no designation on their license indicating the other designation; and who is responsible for verification of compliance with the requirements of the NBRC Continuing Competency Program.
