Modifies age and education requirement to qualify as radiologic technologist.

This bill lowers the minimum age requirement to become a licensed radiologic technologist in New Jersey from 18 to 16 years old. It also expands acceptable education pathways by allowing applicants to be enrolled in either a four-year secondary school program (approved by the State Board of Education) or an alternative education program that leads to a high school diploma, rather than requiring completion of such a program. The bill directly affects aspiring radiologic technologists seeking initial licensure, aiming to address workforce shortages by making entry into the profession more accessible. These changes apply to all specialty licenses (e.g., diagnostic, radiation therapy, dental) but do not alter the specific 24-month training requirements for each specialty.
