Health: testing; notification of dense breast tissue; eliminate, and provide for other general amendments to the use of radiation machines. Amends secs. 13501, 13521, 13522 & 13523 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.13501 et seq.) & repeals secs. 13524 & 13531 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.13524 & 333.13531).
Senate Bill 136 primarily eliminates the requirement for healthcare providers to notify patients about dense breast tissue after mammography. This change directly impacts patients undergoing mammograms and the medical facilities that perform these screenings in Michigan. The bill also enacts broader amendments concerning the use of radiation machines for mammography procedures. These modifications are made by amending and repealing specific sections within the existing Public Health Code.

MODERATE
The bill updates the Michigan Public Health Code to modernize fees for radiation machine registration and mammography authorizations, aligning them with current economic data. It also clarifies definitions, adjusts inspection protocols, and establishes a mechanism for annual fee adjustments based on the Detroit Consumer Price Index to ensure costs reflect inflation.
Scope change
The scope of applicability remains focused on the regulation of radioactive materials and radiation machines, but the specific financial obligations and compliance timelines for facilities have been updated.
FISCAL
Updated specific dollar amounts for radiation machine registration fees and follow-up inspection fees to reflect current costs.
Added a new provision requiring annual fee adjustments based on the Detroit Consumer Price Index, capped at a 5% increase, to prevent fees from becoming outdated.
REQUIREMENT
Revised the requirements for mammography interpreters and facility inspections to ensure compliance with current standards and accreditation programs.
ENFORCEMENT
Clarified administrative fines for operating unauthorized mammography machines and added provisions for posting public warnings when violations persist.
DEFINITION
Updated and clarified definitions of key terms such as 'radiation machine' and 'mammography' to ensure regulatory clarity.
