Hello everyone!

I am the Student Intern Chair for the Missouri Society of Radiologic Technologists. Some of you may be familiar with my name/know me, some of you may not!

The application process for the Student Intern Chair and The ASRT SLDP has been revamped. To keep it simple, the MoSRT will still select the two recipients for the ASRT SLDP and one recipient for the MoSRT Student Internship.

To align with the ASRT's application process, we had to advance the deadline from November 30th, to September 30th. This was a last-minute change, I apologize.

Students will still have to complete the application on ASRT's website (https://www.asrt.org/.../student-leadership-development...) in addition to the application found on our website (http://www.mosrt.net/student-intern)

We have had such great applicants in the past and I look forward to our next recipients!

If you have any questions, you can email me HERE.

Hello colleagues,

As the end of the Missouri legislative session has come to an end, I wanted to provide our members with an update.

Our bill sponsor, Representative Jeff Porter, carried HB 1426 during this session. We took our usual path and were assigned to the Professional licensure committee. We continued our work with those groups who remain in opposition to our bill. Representative Porter then suggested we consider writing a statute that will be attached to a healthcare bill as an amendment. The end of the session came before the statute could move; with the next session in January 2022, we will begin with this statute.

Do not lose hope, do not cease your fight for our patients. Our mission is true and worthy of our continued efforts; we will pick up where we left off this session. I thank all of you for your dedication and tireless work for all patients in Missouri.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted,

Diane Hutton

Missouri Legislative Update - HB 1426

Missouri colleagues,

I want to provide you with a legislative update regarding HB 1426. As you probably know, HB 1426 was introduced, first and second read then referred to Professional Licensure and Registration committee. What you might not know is we had our public hearing this past Wednesday, April 21, 2021.

Our bill sponsor, Rep Jeff Porter did a fantastic job introducing the bill before the committee. We were rather limited on time, with our hearing beginning at 0800 and only an hour to hear two bills. Although that does not sound too bad, the House was having a Republican caucus, so the committee adjourned promptly at 0900.

We were able to provide some excellent testimony with only one organization that testified in opposition and one testifying for informational purposes. The testimony in opposition was from our usual, CRNA/anesthesiologist groups. We continue to work closely with these groups.

Our lobbyists believe we will have a House vote sometime week. However, once the bill gets voted out of the House it then goes to the Senate where we start all over again. With the end of the session coming quickly, May 15th, our next hope is to amend HB 1426 onto another moving healthcare bill.

ASRT will be sending out an email blast soon so look for that. This email will be a “Call to Action” where we will ask you to begin contacting your legislators asking for their support when the bill comes to the floor.

I ask for your continued effort as we get closer to the end of the session. Keep an eye on the website where I will post updates. Thank you, I am still hopeful we will get over the finish line this session.

With gratitude,

Diane Hutton BA, RT(R) ARRT

MoSRT Legislative Chair
