AN ACT
To repeal section 192.769, RSMo, relating to mammograms.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 192.769, RSMo, is repealed, to read as 1
follows:2
[192.769. 1. On completion of a 1
mammogram, a mammography facility certified by 2
the United States Food and Drug Administration 3
(FDA) or by a certification age ncy approved by 4
the FDA shall provide to the patient the 5
following notice: 6
"If your mammogram demonstrates that you 7
have dense breast tissue, which could hide 8
abnormalities, and you have other risk factors 9
for breast cancer that have been identif ied, you 10
might benefit from supplemental screening tests 11
that may be suggested by your ordering 12
physician. Dense breast tissue, in and of 13
itself, is a relatively common condition. 14
Therefore, this information is not provided to 15
cause undue concern, but rather to raise your 16
awareness and to promote discussion with your 17
physician regarding the presence of other risk 18
factors, in addition to dense breast tissue. A 19
report of your mammography results will be sent 20
to you and your physician. You should contact 21
your physician if you have any questions or 22
concerns regarding this report.". 23
2. Nothing in this section shall be 24
construed to create a duty of care beyond the 25
duty to provide notice as set forth in this 26
section. 27 SB 232 2
3. The information required by this 28
section or evidence that a person violated this 29
section is not admissible in a civil, judicial, 30
or administrative proceeding. 31
4. A mammography facility is not required 32
to comply with the requirements of this section 33
until January 1, 2015.] 34
