S 2582 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Modifies age and education requirement to qualify as radiologic technologist.

This bill lowers the minimum age requirement to become a licensed radiologic technologist in New Jersey from 18 to 16 years old. It allows applicants aged 16 or older to qualify if they are enrolled in an approved four-year secondary school program or alternative education program leading to a high school diploma. The bill maintains existing 24-month education requirements for specific radiologic technology specialties (like diagnostic x-ray or radiation therapy) but adjusts the foundational age and education entry point to help address workforce shortages in the field.
