Why 2/5: This bill makes a regulatory change for healthcare providers, but it does not have an immediate impact on patient care or costs that requires urgent action.
This bill expands the types of healthcare facilities, including health systems and affiliated urgent care centers, that can employ radiologic technologists without requiring them to hold a state license. This operational change could make it easier to staff diagnostic imaging services and potentially reduce costs for these providers.
