Due to changes in the wording of proposed state legislation, the MSRT no longer supports Missouri Senate Bill 305, the Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance Act.  The current wording excludes all nurses from being required to have a license to administer medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures.  Although the session has ended for 2007, remember to talk to your state representatives and let them know that we are not in support of our bill.  The Senate will reconvene Jan. 9, 2008.  The MSRT still supports the federal CARE bill.
