Purpose
The sole purpose of an occupational and professional regulatory board is to protect the public health and welfare. A board carries out this purpose by ensuring that the public is served by competent and honest practitioners and by establishing minimum standards of proficiency in the regulated professions by examining, licensing, regulating and disciplining practitioners of those regulated professions. Other goals or objectives may not supersede this purpose.
The primary responsibilities of a board are to make rules defining the required qualifications and professional standards of licensees, evaluate applicant qualifications, verify applicant credentials, examine applicants, grant new and renewed licenses to those who meet board requirements, investigate complaints, take appropriate disciplinary action against licensees, conduct hearings, and revoke or refuse to renew any licenses after proper notice and hearing.
A list of current board members can be found on the Secretary of State Office's website. Members of the public should not contact board members with questions or comments. All questions, comments or any other board-related matters must be directed to the board via email at: radtech.board@maine.gov.
Verify a License
License verifications are available at no charge by visiting the Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners' online licensing portal. OPOR does not issue paper license verifications.
