Specifies the settings in which an ultrasound or similar medical imaging device procedure may be offered

Bill S 8007 specifies the types of healthcare settings in which ultrasound or similar medical imaging procedures may be offered. These procedures would be limited to settings such as licensed clinics, hospitals, outpatient facilities, and the practices of licensed physicians, surgeons, chiropractors, or physical therapists, as well as affiliated or exempt facilities. The bill explicitly excludes practices of licensed midwives from these regulations. Non-compliance with these rules would result in civil penalties, starting at $2,500 for a first offense and increasing to $5,000 for subsequent violations, enforceable by the Attorney General or a District Attorney.
