The Respiratory Care Board of California held a hybrid meeting (in-person and Webex) to discuss implementation of the basic respiratory tasks and services regulation (Cal. Code Regs. § 1399.365) and the statutory carve-outs for home health and home-and-community-based settings. Executive officer Christine Molina reviewed board operations and recent government reorganization news; the meeting focused on whether to pursue emergency regulatory changes to exempt certain home- and community-based settings from § 1399.365 while the legislature addresses statutory timing and training requirements. Dozens of families, providers, and associations urged delay or emergency relief citing patient-safety, workforce, and fiscal concerns; the board voted to schedule an expedited meeting to consider emergency rulemaking and directed staff to pursue next steps.
