AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF PRIVATE EQUITY INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROVISION OF RADIOLOGY SERVICES.

SB 489 establishes a task force to study potential negative impacts of private equity firms owning or managing radiology services in the state. The task force will examine how private equity involvement affects patient care, costs, and access to radiology services, but the bill itself does not change any laws or regulations. This is a procedural bill focused solely on research, not policy action.
