Summary

The Radiologic Technology Act makes it unlawful for any licentiate of the healing arts to administer or use diagnostic, mammographic, or therapeutic X-ray on human beings in this state, unless that person is certified by the State Department of Public Health and acting within the scope of that certification. The act requires the department to prescribe minimum qualifications for granting a fluoroscopy permit and continuing education requirements for the holders of that permit. A person who violates a provision of the Radiologic Technology Act or regulation of the department adopted pursuant to that act is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would, notwithstanding the above-described requirement to be certified to administer or use diagnostic, mammographic, or therapeutic X-ray on human beings in this state, authorize a physician and surgeon or a doctor of podiatric medicine to provide fluoroscopy and radiography services and supervise radiologic technologists prior to receiving a Fluoroscopy X-ray Supervisor and Operator's permit or certification, if the physician and surgeon or the doctor of podiatric medicine submits to the department evidence of completing radiation safety training provided by a facility accredited by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as specified. The bill would require the department to issue a Fluoroscopy X-ray Supervisor and Operator's permit or certification, without requiring an examination, to a physician and surgeon or a doctor of podiatric medicine who applies under these provisions. The bill would require the department to provide that working in a setting that is in compliance with conditions relating to radiation safety that are required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services satisfies a requirement for fluoroscopy and radiography continuing education as set forth in a specific regulation.
