Enrolled Bill Summary

Under current law, the Texas Radiation Advisory Board is required to provide technical advice to the Texas Department of Health and review department rules and guidelines relating to the development, use, and regulation of sources of radiation. House Bill 213 requires the board to provide such assistance to any agency that is involved in the regulation of sources of radiation. In addition, the act changes the composition of the board to include three, rather than two, public members and to require certain credentials of specific board members. It also amends the procedures through which the board may call special meetings.
