Bill > LD649

I apologize, but it seems like the full XML content of the bill is missing from your submission. You've provided the bill title and the government summary, but the XML fragment that would show the specific changes to the law is not included. However, based on the available information, I can draft a summary using the government-provided summary: This bill establishes a certification process for chiropractic assistants who perform x-rays, requiring them to be formally recognized as chiropractic radiographers. To become certified, these assistants must complete a specialized radiologic technology course that is at least 50 hours long and pass an examination approved by the Board of Chiropractic Licensure. The legislation also outlines requirements for certificate renewal and mandates ongoing education in radiologic technology, along with defining potential violations for radiologic technologists. The bill aims to ensure that chiropractic assistants who operate x-ray equipment have proper training and meet professional standards, thereby enhancing patient safety and the quality of diagnostic imaging in chiropractic settings.
