Bill > HB452

This bill expands an existing exception to the requirement for individuals to be licensed to practice radiologic technology, which involves using X-rays and other imaging equipment. Previously, only employees of a licensed hospital were exempt from needing a license to work as a radiologic technologist. This bill broadens that exception to include individuals employed or engaged by a hospital, a health care system, or an urgent care center that is connected to 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 rules by the Board of Medicine, the regulatory body, from certain administrative procedures, and importantly, this expanded exception will expire on July 1, 2029.
