METHODOLOGY:
The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification states this bill as amended delays the licensing process for Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy professional until July 31, 2018. It will also delay collection of unrestricted revenue from those regulated by the Board of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy. There are currently approximately 1,664 radiation technologists and 70 radiation therapists practicing in New Hampshire. Licensing fees would be $110 every 2 years resulting in the following revenue:
