Relating to requiring an occupational license to practice magnetic resonance imaging physics.

SB 1328 requires medical physicists specializing in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) physics to obtain a specific occupational license to practice in Texas. This bill directly affects MRI physics specialists by mandating they hold a license for this specialty, which was not previously required under Texas law. Key provisions amend the Occupations Code to define "magnetic resonance imaging physics" and add it as a licensable specialty under Section 602.201(b), alongside existing radiological physics specialties. The Texas Medical Board must adopt implementing rules, and the law takes effect September 1, 2025. This creates a new regulatory requirement for MRI physics practitioners without changing broader medical licensing standards.
