Modifies age and education requirement to qualify as radiologic technologist.

Bill A2416 lowers the minimum age requirement for becoming a licensed radiologic technologist in New Jersey from 18 to 16 years. It also modifies education requirements, allowing applicants aged 16 to qualify by enrolling in either a state-approved four-year secondary school program or an alternative education program leading to a high school diploma. The bill maintains specific education requirements for different technologist specialties (e.g., diagnostic x-ray, radiation therapy), but the key change expands eligibility pathways for younger applicants. This amendment aims to address workforce shortages in radiologic technology by broadening the pool of qualifying candidates. The bill was introduced to the Assembly Regulated Professions Committee on January 13, 2026.
