ND SB2236

Establishes the North Dakota Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Board of Examiners to license and regulate medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals including radiographers, radiation therapists, nuclear medicine technologists, radiologist assistants, and sonographers.

Requires individuals performing medical imaging or radiation therapy procedures on humans to be licensed by the board after December 31, 2015, with exemptions for licensed practitioners, dental professionals, students under supervision, and certain other categories.

Board consists of nine members appointed by the governor: five medical imaging or radiation therapy professionals (one from each modality), one radiologist, one medical physicist, one rural physician, and one public member, each serving four-year terms.

Licensure requires applicants to be at least 18 years old, have high school diploma or equivalent, complete accredited training in their modality, pass a certification examination, and maintain continuing education requirements.

Violation of licensing requirements is a Class B misdemeanor; board may impose disciplinary actions including license revocation, suspension, probation, fines up to $1,000, and may recover costs of investigations and prosecutions.
