ASRT Supports Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1281

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists supports Senate Bill 1281 Licensing of Medical Imaging Professionals legislation in Pennsylvania. The bill would require all individuals who perform medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures in Pennsylvania to be licensed. By requiring these professionals to obtain licensure through the Board of Medicine, Pennsylvania is taking a critical step to ensure Pennsylvanians receive safe, high-quality care.

Supporters, members and residents of Pennsylvania are asked to show their support by sending lawmakers a message through the Advocacy Action Center website, which will guide users on how to contact lawmakers.

The Advocacy Action Center is a resource for the radiologic technology community to learn about the legislative efforts in their states. It also provides technologists with the tools to contact state and federal officials.

This bill is supported by the ASRT, American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, Pennsylvania Society of Radiologic Technologists, Philadelphia Society of Radiologic Technologists and other partner organizations.
