The expiration, cancellation, forfeiture, or suspension of a license, practice privilege, or other authority to practice respiratory care by operation of law or by order or decision of the board or a court of law, the placement of a license on a retired status, or the voluntary surrender of the license by a licensee shall not deprive the board of jurisdiction to commence or proceed with any investigation of, or action or disciplinary proceeding against, the licensee, or to render a decision to suspend or revoke the license.

Establishes that the board retains jurisdiction over a respiratory care licensee despite expiration, cancellation, forfeiture, suspension, retired status, voluntary surrender, or loss of another practice authority by law, board order, or court decision. The board may still begin or continue investigations and disciplinary proceedings and render a decision suspending or revoking the license.
