Georgia's limited X-ray rules
Georgia has no state license or exam for X-ray operators. The rule is a facility training requirement: each registrant must give every X-ray operator at least 6 hours of instruction within 90 days of hire (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 111-8-90-.04(2)(a), effective 2020).
That instruction covers radiation protection, darkroom technique, patient protection and machine safety. The Georgia Society of Radiologic Technologists also says Georgia doesn't license imaging professionals.

No state license or exam. Georgia requires the facility to give each X-ray operator at least 6 hours of instruction within 90 days of hire (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 111-8-90-.04(2)(a)).
