Title 32 - §9851. Findings
Title 32: PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS Chapter 103: MEDICAL RADIATION HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT §9851. Findings
The Legislature finds that the citizens of this State are entitled to the maximum protection practicable from the harmful
effects of excessive and improper exposure to ionizing radiation; that the protection can be increased by requiring appropriate
education and training of persons operating medical and dental equipment emitting ionizing radiation; and that it is therefore
necessary to establish standards of education, training and experience for these operators, to provide for the appropriate
examination and licensure and to emphasize the professional nature of the service.
