Bill > HB05139

This bill proposes to eliminate the existing registration fee for diagnostic and therapeutic x-ray devices, which are medical imaging tools used by healthcare providers to examine internal body structures or guide medical treatments. By repealing this fee, the legislation aims to reduce operating costs for medical and dental practices in the state. Currently, providers are required to pay a fee to register these x-ray devices, and this bill would remove that financial burden, potentially making it less expensive for healthcare facilities to maintain and operate such essential medical equipment. The change would apply to section 22a-150 of the general statutes, which previously mandated the registration fee. The bill's primary purpose is to provide financial relief to medical and dental providers by removing an administrative cost associated with operating diagnostic and therapeutic x-ray equipment.
