Assembly Bill 295 proposes to amend current law regarding the practice of radiography in Wisconsin. Under existing regulations, individuals must obtain a license from the Radiography Examining Board to engage in radiography, which involves imaging anatomical structures using X-rays for medical diagnosis. The law currently exempts certain professionals, including physicians, chiropractors, dentists, and physician assistants, from this licensing requirement.

The bill seeks to expand this list of exemptions by adding certified advanced practice nurse prescribers. Specifically, it creates a new provision under section 462.02 (2) (g) of the statutes, allowing these nurse prescribers to practice radiography without needing a license from the Radiography Examining Board. This change aims to enhance the scope of practice for advanced practice nurses and improve access to radiographic services in the state.
