Consumer Protection is our Mission.

Office activities include licensing respiratory therapists, investigating complaints, and enforcing disciplinary actions against those who violate the Respiratory Therapists Practice Act and Director’s Rules and Regulations. The mission of the Office is to maintain the profession’s integrity and protect its consumers. The Office works in conjunction with the National Board of Respiratory Care (NBRC).

We Changed Our Name!

The Division is now called the Division of Professions and Occupations, effective August 8, 2012. To help our consumers and licensees more readily locate and utilize our services, the legislature passed House Bill 12-1055 during the 2012 legislative session. Please note, the Division of Professions and Occupations will still be housed within the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). Services the Division currently offers will remain the same.
