N.C. General Statute §150B-21.3A , adopted in 2013, and revised in July 2019 by Session Law 2019-140 , requires state agencies and commissions review existing rules every 10 years. This ten year review has been completed for all NC Respiratory Care Board (NCRCB) rules on July 11, 2024, according to a schedule set by the N.C. Rules Review Commission (RRC). The NCRCB reviewed each of its existing rules in 21 NCAC 61 and made an initial determination from either of the following classifications:
- Necessary – the agency determines the rule is any rule other than an unnecessary rule.
- Unnecessary – the agency determines that the rule is obsolete, redundant or otherwise not needed.
When the RRC approves them, links to the completed rule reviews will be available on this website for public comment. Sign up on the NCRCB ListServ to receive notices of the NCRCB’s rule-making and rule-review activities. The rules approved by the NCRCB will be available for the first 60-day review beginning August 7, 2024. See full text of rules for 21 NCAC 61. See the following link for the report on the RRC website.
