What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, subject to certain exceptions, no person may engage in the practice of radiography unless the person holds a license or limited permit issued by the Radiography Examining Board. Radiography is generally defined as the imaging of anatomical structures, produced by the combined application of X-rays to the human body. In addition, under current law, a person holding such a license or permit may not use diagnostic X-ray equipment on humans for diagnostic purposes unless authorized to do so by a prescription or order issued by one of several types of licensed medical professionals specified under current law.
This bill adds licensed physical therapists to this list of licensed medical professionals authorized to prescribe or order the use of diagnostic X-ray equipment.
