Bill > S09630

This bill authorizes a holder of a limited-scope radiography license to practice radiography at urgent care centers under the supervision of a licensed practitioner or licensed registered radiologic technologist. It defines a "limited-scope radiographer" as a person licensed to practice radiography limited to certain body areas, such as the chest, extremities, skull/sinus, and spine/sacrum, at urgent care centers. The bill also establishes standards for limited-scope radiography education programs and a registration process for individuals to become licensed as limited-scope radiographers. Additionally, it amends the public health law to include limited-scope radiographers in provisions related to the suspension, revocation, or discipline of radiologic technologists.
