S 3513 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Modifies age and education requirement to qualify as radiologic technologist.

This bill lowers the minimum age requirement for becoming a licensed radiologic technologist in New Jersey from 18 to 16 years old. It also modifies education requirements, allowing applicants to qualify by being enrolled in a four-year secondary school program (approved by the State Board of Education) or an alternative education program that leads to a high school diploma, rather than requiring completion of such a program. The change applies to all specialty licenses for technologists (e.g., diagnostic x-ray, radiation therapy, dental x-ray). The bill aims to address workforce shortages in the radiologic technology field by expanding eligibility.
