assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, | 17 | | nurses,
technicians, or other assistants who administer | 18 | | radiation to human beings
under the supervision of a person | 19 | | licensed under the Medical Practice Act
of 1987. Such rules and | 20 | | regulations may provide for different classes of
accreditation | 21 | | based on evidence of national certification, clinical
| 22 | | experience or community hardship as conditions of initial and | 23 | | continuing
accreditation. The rules and regulations of the |
| | | HB5193 | - 2 - | LRB101 16329 CPF 65703 b |
|

| 3 | | (b) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
| 4 | | persons who have been accredited by the Agency, in accordance | 5 | | with the
Radiation Protection Act, without passing an | 6 | | examination, will remain
accredited as provided in Section 43 | 7 | | of this Act and that those persons may
be accredited, without | 8 | | passing an examination, to use other equipment,
procedures, or | 9 | | supervision within the original category of accreditation if

Medical Practice Act of 1987, that the person | 12 | | accredited has
the necessary
skill and qualifications for such | 13 | | additional equipment procedures or
supervision. The Agency | 14 | | shall, in accordance with subsection (c) of
this Section, | 15 | | provide for the accreditation of nurses, technicians, or
other | 16 | | assistants, unless exempted elsewhere in this Act, to perform a

an individual must pass an examination approved | 14 | | offered by the Agency. The
examination shall be consistent with | 15 | | national standards in regard to
protection of public health and | 16 | | safety. The examination shall consist of a
standardized | 17 | | component covering general principles applicable to diagnostic
| 18 | | radiography procedures and a clinical component specific to the | 19 | | types of
procedures for which accreditation is being sought. | 20 | | The Agency may
assess a reasonable fee for such examinations to | 21 | | cover any the costs incurred
by the Agency in conjunction with | 22 | | offering the examinations.
