Arizona SB1120 mandates radiation protection systems in health care institutions performing certain procedures.

Arizona SB1120 amends the state statutes to require hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, and other health care institutions performing procedures involving real-time x-ray imaging to install radiation protection systems. Specifically, at least fifty percent of the procedure rooms must be equipped with these systems by July 1, 2027.
