The Colorado Office of Respiratory Therapy Licensure regulates individual licensed respiratory therapists in the State of Colorado. Office activities include licensing respiratory therapists, investigating complaints, and enforcing disciplinary actions against violators of the Respiratory Therapists Practice Act and Director's Rules and Regulations. The Office's mission is to maintain the profession's integrity and protect its consumers and works in conjunction with the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).

The Colorado Office of Policy, Research and Regulatory Reform is currently conducting a sunset review of the Respiratory Therapy Program. Analysis is performed to determine if the program is necessary and should be continued, modified, or repealed.  To provide input on this review, please visit COPRRR's website.
