State Board of Physicians - Delegation of Duties - Alterations

HB 1047 requires individuals performing limited X-ray machine operations (such as chest, spine, and limb X-rays) to register with the State Board of Physicians. It establishes specific training requirements (115 hours of didactic education plus 6 months clinical experience) and supervision rules (must occur in a physician's office with on-site or immediately available physician direction). The bill excludes advanced procedures like CT scans, mammography, fluoroscopy, and invasive radiology from this limited scope. This directly affects medical facilities, X-ray technicians, and physician assistants performing these specific X-ray duties under new guidelines.
