Well, it is what someone who is probably a high school junior today will have to deal with if/when they decide to go to x-ray school after high school, and then attempt to renew their registry.
The new "Continued Qualification Requirement" is stated to take place for examinees taking the ARRT on or after January 1, 2011. Instead of requiring a 24 CEU biennium renewal, future examinees will be required to show some form of continued qualifications every ten years in order to renew their registration. What that exactly entails, we do not know yet, but the ARRT promises us that specifications will be available around April, 2009.
There is no current plan to begin this new requirement for individuals who have obtained their registry before January 1, 2011, and the traditional CEU biennium will continue to be observed. It is important to note that all new certifications acquired after this date will be subject to the new requirements and issued a time-limited certification.
A more detailed explanation, and a FAQ section can be found on the ARRT's website here.
