Your State Affiliate at Work for You
The proposed amendment to SB 1549 by ONA to allow APRNs to supervise fluoroscopy was introduced on Thursday, 2/22/2018.  When members of OSRT's Legislative team tracked down the proposal they discovered it would be open for public comment the following day, Friday, 2/23/2018 at 8:30 am.  They quickly went to work communicating details about the proposed amendment and rallied support in opposition. With the help of the ASRT they were able to get the word out to RTs around the state. Not only was there a strong response to the legislators there were advocates who attended the public hearing as well. Due to the overwhelming response received by committee members with opposition to this amendment, the committee formally chose not to hear the amendment at that meeting and rather instructed the groups involved to work together toward mutually agreeable language. 

Thank you to those who contacted their legislators and who took their time to represent our profession at the public hearing.
