opposition to RA legislation
 

I am opposed to the RA bill as written.  My opposition  to the bill is because of the exclusion of the RPA (Radiology Practitioner Assistant).  Upcoming Federal Legislation concerning our profession will make it necessary for the state regulations to recognize both titles. The ARRT, ACR and SRPE have worked hard to meld these professions and I feel that this bill needs to reflect that.
