Generally, RAC's are held in person at the Health Licensing Office (HLO), however; with the pandemic and state office buildings closed to the public, the HLO will be holding all meetings virtually. In order to manage virtual meetings, the HLO is limiting the RAC membership to five members per field of practice.

• Three licensees from each field of practice;
• One health care practitioner or supervisor/teacher from a field of practice; and
• One public member.
  

RAC's provide an opportunity for external experts, individuals, entities and advocates to provide input and recommendations to the Board and the Health Licensing Office (HLO) during the rulemaking process.
