The license entitles the holder to practice respiratory care. The licensee shall display the license in a conspicuous place at the licensee's principal place of business.

This division does not require a student enrolled in an educational program leading to a degree or certificate of completion in respiratory care approved by the board to obtain a limited permit to perform any duties that are part of the required course of study.
