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 requirements, authorize the department to issue a nonrenewable, temporary 9-month fluoroscopy permit to a licensed physician and surgeon or a licensed doctor of podiatric medicine who has submitted an application and is awaiting examination for a fluoroscopy certificate. The bill would require the application to indicate the location or facility where the licensed physician and surgeon or the licensed doctor of podiatric medicine will be providing fluoroscopy under the temporary permit.
