Louisiana House Bill No. 949 (officially amending R.S. 37:3200-3219) passed both chambers of the Louisiana Legislature unanimously and is scheduled to become effective on August 1, 2026. Thank you to the bill’s sponsor (Kimberly Coates), the ARRT, the ASRT, the Louisiana State Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners, the Louisiana Society of Radiologic Technologists, and every advocate who made this happen.

Another RA Win!

The SRPE would like to thank the Georgia Society of Radiologic Technologists, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, the Georgia Radiological Society, and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists for their support of HB 571 and their continued advocacy for the RA!
