Bill Summary
Licensure of sonographers. Specifies that the term "radiation" includes sound waves commonly used for sonography. Prohibits a person from performing sonography unless the person is licensed by the Indiana department of health.
AI Summary
This bill updates Indiana's radiation and sonography regulations by expanding the definition of "radiation" to explicitly include sound waves used in sonography, and by introducing a new licensing requirement for sonographers. Specifically, the bill defines sonography as an imaging technique that uses ultrasonic waves emitted from an electronic product to produce internal body images. Starting July 1, 2025, individuals will be prohibited from performing sonography without first obtaining a license from the Indiana state department of health. The bill amends existing state law to require sonographers to register and provide required information through procedures established by the state department. This new licensing requirement aims to ensure that sonography professionals meet specific qualifications and standards, potentially improving the quality and safety of medical imaging services in the state.
