 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. ADDABBO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to registered radio-
 logic technologists working within a collaborative practice agreement
 with a licensed physician

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 3501 of the public health law, as
 2 amended by chapter 476 of the laws of 2024, is amended and a new subdi-
 3 vision 20 is added to read as follows:
 4 3. "Radiography" means the use of x-rays or x-ray producing equipment
 5 on human beings for diagnostic purposes under the supervision of a
 6 licensed practitioner. The practice includes, but is not limited to:
 7 measuring and positioning patients; selecting and setting up exposure
 8 factors on x-ray equipment, and the making of the x-ray exposure; the
 9 performance of quality control tests; under the direct supervision of a
 10 licensed physician, the intravascular administration of contrast media
 11 when such administration is an integral part of the x-ray or imaging
 12 procedure; and, under the direct supervision of a licensed physician,
 13 certified nurse practitioner, or licensed physician assistant, the
 14 intravenous administration of contrast media when such administration is
 15 an integral part of the x-ray or imaging procedure. In collaborative
 16 practice with a licensed physician, when such services are performed in
 17 accordance with a written practice agreement and written practice proto-
 18 cols, it shall be known as a collaborative practice agreement. Under
 19 such a collaborative practice agreement, radiologic technologists, under
 20 the supervision of a physician, may also practice the intravenous admin-
 21 istration of contrast media when such administration is an integral part
 22 of the x-ray or imaging.
 23 20. "Collaborative practice agreement" means an agreement between a
 24 radiologic technologist and a licensed physician conforming to the
 25 requirements set forth in subdivision seven of section three thousand
 26 five hundred two of this article.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
