Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The advisory board may issue a provisional certificate to an applicant currently licensed or certified in another jurisdiction who seeks certification in this state and who:

(1) has been licensed or certified in good standing as a medical radiologic technologist for at least two years in another jurisdiction, including a foreign country, that has licensing or certification requirements substantially equivalent to the requirements of this chapter;

(2) has passed a national or other examination recognized by the advisory board relating to the practice of radiologic technology;  and

(3) is sponsored by a medical radiologic technologist certified by the advisory board under this chapter with whom the provisional certificate holder will practice during the time the person holds a provisional certificate.

(b) The advisory board may waive the requirement of Subsection (a)(3) for an applicant if the advisory board determines that compliance with that subsection would be a hardship to the applicant.

(c) A provisional certificate is valid until the date the advisory board approves or denies the provisional certificate holder's application for a certificate.  The advisory board shall issue a certificate under this chapter to the provisional certificate holder if:

(1) the provisional certificate holder is eligible to be certified under Section 601.107;  or

(2) the provisional certificate holder passes the part of the examination under Section 601.104 that relates to the applicant's knowledge and understanding of the laws and rules relating to the practice of radiologic technology in this state and:

(A) the advisory board verifies that the provisional certificate holder meets the academic and experience requirements for a certificate under this chapter;  and

(B) the provisional certificate holder satisfies any other licensing requirements under this chapter.

(d) The advisory board must approve or deny a provisional certificate holder's application for a certificate not later than the 180th day after the date the provisional certificate is issued.  The advisory board may extend the 180-day period if the results of an examination have not been received by the advisory board before the end of that period.

(e) The advisory board by rule may establish a fee for a provisional certificate in an amount reasonable and necessary to cover the cost of issuing the certificate.
