The bill makes technical adjustments to existing rules about quality standards, facility certification, and data reporting under Utah Code §§ 26B-2-602 and 26B-2-604, with no new funding or broad policy changes. It takes effect May 7, 2025.

MODERATE
This bill repeals Utah's requirement for facilities to notify patients about their mammography screening results and removes the Department of Health and Human Services' duty to enforce that notification requirement. The changes simplify the regulatory framework by eliminating the specific notification mandate while retaining other quality assurance and facility certification standards.
Scope change
The bill's scope is reduced by removing the mandatory notification requirement that previously applied to all mammography facilities in Utah.
