SB281,1,2
1An Act to create 462.02 (2) (g) of the statutes; relating to: allowing certified
2advanced practice nurse prescribers to engage in the practice of radiography.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no person may engage in the practice of radiography unless the person is granted a license by the Radiography Examining Board. Practice of radiography is defined to mean the imaging of anatomical structures, produced by the combined application of X-rays to the human body and the application of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, radiographic positioning, and radiographic technique, and knowledge of principles of radiation protection, for the purpose of medical diagnosis. Current law provides several exceptions from the requirement that a person be licensed by the Radiography Examining Board in order to engage in the practice of radiography, including for physicians, chiropractors, dentists, and physician assistants. This bill adds certified advanced practice nurse prescribers to the list of persons who are not required to obtain a license from the Radiography Examining Board to engage in the practice of radiography.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SB281,13Section 1. 462.02 (2) (g) of the statutes is created to read:
SB281,2,2
1462.02 (2) (g) An advanced practice nurse prescriber certified under s. 441.16
2(2).
