KRS 311B.010: Legislative policy and intent.

(1) It is the declared policy of the General Assembly of Kentucky that the practice of

medical imaging, radiation therapy, and related occupations should be regulated and

controlled as provided by this chapter and by the administrative regulations of the

board in order to protect and safeguard the health and safety of the citizens of the

Commonwealth of Kentucky.

(2) Prior to July 12, 2012, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services has exercised

effective oversight over the fields of medical imaging and radiation therapy, but it is

the intent of the General Assembly that, as of July 12, 2012:

(a) These professions shall be governed by a peer -reviewed, practitioner -based

body; and

(b) The board as established in this chapter is the best means to carry out this

purpose.
