What changed between versions
Added clear definitions for 'general x-ray machine operator,' 'radiographer,' 'radiation therapy technologist,' and 'nuclear medicine technologist' to clarify their specific duties and limitations.
Created exemptions allowing chiropractors, podiatrists, dentists, and other licensed medical professionals to perform radiation procedures without obtaining a separate radiation technician license.
Revised licensing exam requirements to exempt applicants who already hold specific national certifications from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board.
Clarified supervision requirements, distinguishing between 'direct supervision' for general operators and 'general supervision' for radiographers and therapy technologists.
Removed page numbers and internal markup artifacts from the original draft text.
