CSRC Gets 2 Wins in One Week
SB 132 the Polysomnography Licensure bill was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger today. This signing is the culmination of 2 years of work by the CSRC and the Respiratory Care Board. Together we worked very hard to:
- Bring regulation to an unregulated field.
- Increase consumer protection.
- Protect Respiratory Care Practitioners working in the polysom field through insuring that their RCP license would allow them to continue practicing in the field without being dual licensed.
Many thanks to all who worked tirelessly on this bill from Senator Denham’s office (he sponsored the bill), the CSRC, and you our members for it is your dues that help pay for our most excellent Legislative Advocates.

The second win was the signing of AB1071 also known as the Sunset bill which if not signed would have dissolved the Respiratory Care Board thus ending the protection it brings to the consumers and RCPs of California. Thanks to all the CSRC members who wrote to the Governor to ask for his signature on the bill.
This is your CSRC in Action
