AI Summary
This bill expands an existing exception to the requirement of obtaining a license to practice radiologic technology, which involves using X-rays or other radiation for medical imaging. Previously, this exception only applied to employees of licensed hospitals. Now, it will also cover individuals employed or engaged by hospitals, health care systems, or urgent care centers affiliated with a hospital or health care system, allowing them to practice within their job scope as a radiologic technologist, radiologic assistant, or a limited radiologic technologist without a license. The bill also exempts the initial creation of new regulations by the Board of Medicine, which is the governing body for medical professionals, from a standard administrative review process known as the Administrative Process Act, streamlining the implementation of these changes.
