On Jan. 12, House Bill 452, Practice of Radiologic Technology; Licensure Exceptions, was introduced by Delegate Willett to the Virginia General Assembly. ASRT has serious concerns about House Bill 452. As written, HB 452 would effectively eliminate the licensure requirements for most radiologic technologists, limited radiologic technologists and radiologist assistants. By extending exemptions for licensure for medical imaging professionals employed by a hospital, health care system, or urgent care affiliated with a hospital or health care system, Virginia is creating a significant loophole in the oversight and licensing of medical imaging professionals. Medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures can have fatal outcomes when the technologist does not meet the nationally recognized educational, training and competency standards.
