Legislative Committee Update

Action Needed

There is now an open comment period for the public on the Minnesota Department of Health rule revision process for Ionizing Radiation, Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4732.

This is the Chapter that contains the majority of the rules that directly regulate our profession in MN, so we should be active in this process to ensure that the interests of the public and our profession are best being met.  You can submit any ideas you have for revisions to the rule here:

After this open period for comments, the drafting of the rules will begin.  There will be further opportunities to submit comments after the first draft is completed and again before it is finalized.  This entire process will likely take more than a year.

The Legislative Committee will be monitoring this process, and will notify membership if there are any specific items that may require our attention.
