Bill > HB0146

This bill modifies the Department of Health and Human Services' authority and duties related to mammography by making several key changes. The bill removes a specific requirement for facilities to provide notifications about women's cancer screenings, instead focusing on the department's broader rulemaking and enforcement powers. Specifically, the department will continue to establish quality assurance standards for mammography facilities, including standards for developing mammogram x-ray films and following up on abnormal mammograms. The department retains its authority to collect mammography examination data, certify and inspect mammogram facilities, set certification fees, and provide an appeal process for certification decisions. The bill also removes a specific section related to notification requirements and renumbers the remaining department duties. Notably, the bill repeals Section 26B-2-605, which previously outlined women's cancer screening notification requirements, effectively eliminating that specific reporting obligation. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, and represents a streamlining of administrative procedures related to mammography facilities and reporting.
