What is the time frame within which a respiratory care practitioner (RCP) must report a change in address to the Board?

The requirement for a respiratory care practitioner (RCP) to report a change in address to the Board within 14 days is grounded in the necessity for maintaining accurate and current records for regulatory and communication purposes. This time frame is intended to ensure that the Board can effectively manage licensing, renewals, and any potential disciplinary actions that might require communication with the practitioner. Timely updates help protect both the practitioner’s and the public’s interests by facilitating ongoing compliance with regulations and enhancing accountability within the profession. Adhering to this 14-day period is essential for the practitioner to remain in good standing with the licensing Board.
