§ 56-1043.

Rules - Licensing requirements and procedure - Registration of x-ray producing machines - Exemptions from registration or licensing. (1) The board of health and welfare shall provide, by rule, for general or specific licensing of x-ray producing machines. Such rule shall provide for amendment, suspension or revocation of licenses. Such rule shall provide that:

(a) Each application for a specific license shall be in writing and shall state such information as the board, by rule, may determine to be necessary to decide the technical, insurance and financial qualifications, or any other qualification of the applicant as the department may deem reasonable and necessary to protect the occupational and public health and safety. The department may at any time after the filing of the application, and before the expiration of the license, require further written statements and shall make such inspections as the department deems necessary in order to determine whether the license should be granted or denied or whether the license should be modified, suspended or revoked. In no event shall the department grant a specific license to any applicant who has never possessed a specific license issued by a recognized state or federal authority until the department has conducted an inspection or review which insures that the applicant can meet the rules and standards adopted pursuant to sections 56-1041 through 56-1053 , Idaho Code. All applications and statements shall be signed by the applicant or licensee. The department may require any applications or statements to be made under oath or affirmation;

(b) Each license shall be in such form and contain such terms and conditions as the board may by rule prescribe;

(c) No license issued under the authority of sections 56-1041 through 56-1053 , Idaho Code, and no right to process or utilize x-ray producing machines granted by any license shall be assigned or in any manner disposed of; and

(d) The terms and conditions of all licenses shall be subject to amendment, revision or modification by rules or orders issued in accordance with the provisions of sections 56-1041 through 56-1053 , Idaho Code.

(2) The board of health and welfare may require licensing of those persons installing or repairing x-ray producing machines which the board has determined to present a potential hazard to the occupational and public health and safety. Such licensing requirements shall provide that:

(a) Each application for a license shall be in writing and shall state such information as the board, by rule, may determine to be necessary to decide the technical, insurance and financial qualifications, or any other qualification of the applicant as the department may deem reasonable and necessary. The department may at any time after the filing of the application, and before the expiration of the license, require further written statements and shall make such inspections as the department deems necessary in order to determine whether the license should be granted or denied or whether the license should be modified, suspended or revoked. All applications and statements shall be signed by the applicant or licensee. The department may require any applications or statements to be made under oath or affirmation;

(b) Each license shall be in such form and contain such terms and conditions as the board of health and welfare may by rule prescribe;

(c) No license issued under the authority of sections 56-1041 through 56-1053 , Idaho Code, and no right to possess or utilize x-ray producing machines granted by any license shall be assigned or in any manner disposed of; and

(d) The terms and conditions of all licenses shall be subject to amendment, revision or modification by rules or orders issued in accordance with the provisions of sections 56-1041 through 56-1053 , Idaho Code.

(3) The board of health and welfare may require registration of all x-ray producing machines which the department has determined to present a potential hazard to the occupational and public health and safety.

(4) The board of health and welfare may exempt certain x-ray producing machines or kinds of uses or users from the registration or licensing requirements set forth in this section when the department makes a finding that the exemption of such x-ray producing machines or kinds of uses or users will not constitute a significant risk to the health and safety of the public.

(5) In promulgating rules pursuant to sections 56-1041 through 56-1053 , Idaho Code, the board of health and welfare shall, insofar as practical, strive to avoid requiring dual licensing, and shall provide for such recognition of other state or federal licenses as the department shall deem desirable, subject to such registration requirements as the board of health and welfare may prescribe.
